another one... Just found out that my gear oil is leaking, so that's why.....
Re: just got home from a track.... feel horrible
Sounds like you destroyed your tranny. Ouch. Tough luck man, thats what a track can do to you. At least you can say you lost to a Z22 when you slammed your gears so hard you broke it.

i doubt he destroyed the tranny. He killed the clutch for sure, and all the excess heat probably made some gear oil boil over, but thats what its supposed to do.

Re: just got home from a track.... feel horrible
I didn't kill the tranny, clutch it's fine ... the problem was low gear fluid level so dont worry about it "protege i know everything!" ... ok?!
