Destroyed 1st to 2nd shift fork

Well the tranny hasn't been pulled yet, I will try to get to it this week but I am 99% positive its the shift fork. Went to slam 2nd and nothing was there, noticed after 1st was gone too. The gears seem as if they are disconnected. Linkage is fine etc... I still have 3, 4, 5, and R

Just curious if this is common amongst these transmissions?

I bang the gears pretty hard in mine and my tranny seems to be holding up.

I had shep trans in my 99 gsx with no problems at all. I will probably go back with him . I know TRE does great work as well, but I could spend a week just trying to get them on the phone. Everytime I called shep answered right on the spot was VERY informative and had my tranny back on my door step in 7 days, now thats service!

Ship it to shep/TRe and have it take care of properly. It would be more of a pain if you messed it up even more.

I also had the 1-2 shift fork go bye-bye ('05 GSR). Almost exactly one year ago actually. Anyways, car was still 100% stock and it was fixed under warranty.
