My Midland just went.... I tried a fast shift from 1st redline to 2nd, and that was it... Then, the shifter became hard to go in gear, and to go back in neutral, but surprisingly, it didn't make any wiward noises, and i could select all gears, so i tried to get back home very slow and gentle, hopping it wasn't completely destroyed, and rebuildable.. Shortly before i arrive home, i tried to change gear, but it has the 2nd gear in, and it won't select any other gear, and the lever feels like ... air. Has this happened to any other in here? Does anybody know what can be wrong with the gearbox?

And another question, from all those of you that did the swap to the Getrag 6 speed, did you notice any drop in performance? I am asking because not only the 6 speed is heavier, but also it has a much heavier flywheel, and also bigger diameter. I'd like to throw in the 6 speed, but i don't want to lose any performance.
