First your title is crazy, second WTF? And lastly my help....

How many miles on the tranny,clutch,flywheel?

Good chance by trying to decipher your lingo, you might have just lost 3rd gear in the tranny?
Does it go into other gears fine, any grinding,slipping..... seriously if you want help you must make a serious post, not something you typed in 30 seconds, like your hiding from your boss at work.

Some more descriptive words would be good, just not so vauge

Do you have 4th gear?
If not then you have more than likely broken the 3rd/4th hub.
Most of the time you won't even see the problem till you actually press the gears off the input shaft.

The switchable trans has a pretty bad name for breaking that hub.
A new hub from a regular VR4 gearbox fits right in with no problem.
The actual hub is hidden from view in the pic below. It's under the slider that you can see.

Of course you may have also stripped the teeth from 3rd gear but you would have heard all sorts horrible sounds if that had happened!





 

Sry about the short message. I was at the track when i lost 3rd gear it just wasnt there. I was able to find 1st to limp it on the roll back. But it wasnt right. Its been a year now since it happend. The trans is just sitting in my shop if anyone wants to make me an offer on it.
