How bad did I screw up?

I am amazed you were able to get the tranmission into reverse. You would have been spinning the mainshaft of the trans forward.

Upon doing a bit of research, I don't think I was actually in reverse. It doesn't seem possible. I must have been on that edge where it grinds, only I was in the vicinity of 5000 RPM, so something broke. That's all I can figure. A friend in another forum (Craig Aylsworth) suggested as a possibility I either broke the 5/R shift fork or a piece of the linkage.

I've been looking at upgrading to the TKO 600 for some time now, but my wife just talked me into buying a new Stickly living room suite, so I'm broke as heck right now.

Hey, she let me have a cobra... What could I do?

I think I'll pull the tranny this weekend and check out the damage. The Tremec service manuals are free to the public as a download, so that's a good start.

Thanks all! I'll keep everyone posted.
