Well.... it happened again...
for those who remember, I had problems with my reverse gear before sticking in gear. I havent had problems with it for months until today. I was "drag strip prepped" with the stereo out and the stock rims back on. I headed up with friends and their 64 Impala and 68 Camaro. For once in my life I was driving normal, I put the transmission in 3rd gear and all of the sudden I heard this very loud clunking noise. Immediately I pulled over. I knew exactly what was a matter, reverse probably worked itself out of the fork or the gear dislodged itself and shattered. So I got in somebody else's car and went to the drag strip. Then I had the car rollbacked home. I really dont feel like pulling the transmission again but it looks like I have no choice. As always I'll keep everybody posted.
P.S. As you see in this post its purely informative and I'm not blaming anybody. So I DONT want to hear 'its because you beat the F outta your car' etc.

Alright I got the transmission pulled. I opened it up. Much to my dismay, it was not the problem of what I thought it was. 3rd gear was blown, there was no problem with reverse. Last time I had tranny trouble, I blew second gear. What really strikes me as odd, is that I was driving very gently yesterday when it happened. It also happened after I put the car in 3rd gear with the clutch fully engaged. I honestly was not flogging the F outta it whatsoever and it just happened out of the clear blue. So much for cryogenic treatment as well. It probably would have been better if it had happened while I was going down the drag strip since it would have been more memorable. But on the bright side, goodthing it did not happen when I was clubbin the night before celebrating my birthday as that woulda been a real spoiler (no I didnt drive that night).
Since I'm now 21 (mind you, this happened the day AFTER my birthday) I might as well go buy some booze and take a few shots before I think of what to do next.
