1st off rebuilding anything in the transmission due to slipping has got to be the most insane thing I have ever herd, I think you may have misunderstood them.... A manual transmission can not slip. A clutch can slip. The 2 are not related. Only reason for rebuilding a transmission would be from grinding.



Put you car in 5th gear at 50mph. Slam on the throttle.

What plugs are you using, gap ect.

Info like mileage, who tuned it, what model ngk plug, modifications done to your car would be a large help. Also complete sentences are just easier on the eyes.

idk if it is the plugs cause it ran fine for a 3 weeks then just messed up and started missfiring then after that i changed the plugs and all that but i will try what u said so put it in 5th at 50 mph and step down on it all the way cause anything above half throttle is when it does it
