Ended up just replacing the whole transmission rather then figuring what was damaged and what wasn't and rebuilding and just being more mindful of the gearbox limitations.

OK, understand all of that... Or the other solution don't do tracks that require a 5th gear, which would eliminate Road Atlanta and Mid-Ohio. Barber Motor Sport not sure of there, but will be there for the Zcon

Funny thing I do not remember anything that felt odd, no indication that it happened. Like I said, went to come back to TN and bam, what is going on... Still when I take it out, I wish some overnight would fix it...

Thanks for the help
