My newly rebuilt tranny blows a hole in itself...

ok..so I just had my tranny rebuilt last month...and on friday I had just left work...turned left at a stoplight...took first to 2500 rpms...second to 2500....into third...and then another light ahead of me turned red...so I push the clutch in and go to take the car out of third....and it WON'T COME OUT!!! so I pull a little harder...and BOOM...all hell breaks loose!!! I can only get in and out of third gear now...all other gears locked out...and I start to smell gear lube (bad thing) I'm trying to find a place to stop and I hear parts acutally falling out of my car and bouncing on the road!!!!! I finally get stopped..and luckely my buddy in his new M-coupe was behind me dodging tranny parts. when I got out of the car and looked under it....gear lube is POURING out of my tranny case..and there is a hole the size of a quarter in it!! My god...what the heck happened??? They must have made a MAJOR mistake rebuilding it or something.

I AM ****ED AT THE TRANNY PLACE.....I even got a good recommendation to them from a friend. oh well...It's getting replaced under their warrenty....so I guess I can't complain...I just hope the gear lube didn't get into the clutch housing..and I need a new clutch...beucause they will probably try to replace my beautiful ACT clutch with a crappy stock unit!!!!
