You probably damaged a component in your trans like a shift fork or you blew out the gear completely. Dealer Probably wont do anything for you since your car is modded. I'd say Shep Trans time.

Dealers dont wanna do anything for free obviously so the smallest mod will void a warranty. Just go with a shep stage 1 trans its about 1000 for the rebuild and shipping costs and some downtime obviously.

I'd say maybe 400-500 on labor with fluids just an estimate. All depends on what place you take it to and what they charge hourly. Also is your trans a 6 speed or 5 speed?

If your on a 6 speed trans, your best bet is to find a used 5 speed that is already messed up and buy it and send that out to shep because the 6 speed is the weakest junk ever and everyone blows them up and would be a waste to rebuild a 6 speed

R&R + overhaul pays 9.8 hours warranty for a 5spd. My shop is 95.00 per hour. That's $931.00 in labor alone. I'm sure you can find a shop with a lower rate.

No offense but 900+ on labor is outrageous. Ive had my trans done about 3 times this year and labor for me was about 350-400 each time removed and put back in with fluids and takes about 4 to 4.5 hours at 80$ per hour rate

9.8 hours is dealership flat rate time. I build these transaxles all the time for the dealer. I'd rather pay 900 once and have it done right than pay 350-400 three times.

Mine was done right the first time aswell I just like to race my car and slam gears thats why it broke a few times. Two of those times I had 6 speeds that obviously cant support the power my car puts down. 3rd time was getting my t case done and and had a 5th gear syncro and evo 8 gear put in while it was all taken apart.
