My kid had a catastrophic clutch failure in my car. Don't ask, he is learning tons about cars right now. We removed the trans because it wouldn't go into reverse at all. After we got the trans out the clutch material had completely come from the disc. I went off on him about it since to me that kind of stuff just doesn't happen. He tried to limp the car home like that. After opening up the transmission, apparently in his trying to force it into reverse, the reverse gear is not lining up with the syncro properly. It is "wallerd' out a bit. Its only maybe a millimetre but is enough to make it not drop into gear when the shift fork is pushing it down.

Anyway, long story short. I know there are many people that track these cars and break all kinds of pieces of these transmissions. I honestly doubt anyone has had reverse die on a tracked transmission. I am hoping there is someone that has a set lying about that I can buy from them. It would be a whole lot better than making him come up with a ton of money to buy a new transmission.

Does anyone know where or who may have one for me, thanks

Does anyone have any ideas of where or whom to ask?

 

I don't have a sense of whether you're going to find one, but you'd probably find more eyeballs in the main R56 forum. Perhaps if you posted this there, you might be more successful.

I know that forum isn't strictly for WTB requests, but others would probably benefit from your explanation of what happened and how you plan to fix it (since I, for one, have never been inside a transmission).

Good luck!
