About $150 is needed to purchase a new 4th gear and ship it to me so that I can compare it with razorlab's broken 4th gear. Willing participants so far:
1) mrfred, $10
2) mike01gsr, $10
3) Steve_P, $10
4) SRT-TO-EVO, $10
5) Wheelhaus, $10
Getting closer...

4th gear just went today and it was only 39 degrees out?
I lost 4th today at a track event. I was only on my 2nd or 3rd lap and it went after I started to pull in 4th. The temp outside was only 39 degrees so it's hard to believe that things were overtemp.
The damage may have already been done from previous events and waited until today to show up
I'm runing around 345whp on 285 kumho's with an Exedy Twin disc, this is about the 7th track event with this car (2005MR).
Wish someone knew for sure what the fix is as I need a reliable fix for TT next season.

Your best bet is to do what Warr has done, ie, switch to a 5 speed tranny. This is the cheapest and result guaranteed route.
Your second choice is to put an oil cooler on the 6-speed tranny and run thick-as-molasses Redline Shockproof heavy gear oil. Also run a stock clutch. Anything stiffer might shock those 4-6 very small gears. The results, however, are not guaranteed and you maybe wasting your money. I suspect that you will have a broken tranny using this route.
The last choice is the most expensive. Get a straight cut gearset for the 6-speed. This is also guaranteed to work, but is expensive as hell and your tranny will be so loud you will have to wear ear plugs j/k.
Out of all the three choices, I will pick the first choice. The 5-speed tranny is the one to go with unless you do not want to track your MR anymore.
