I had someone come check everything out, and everything external checked out, he told me it could possibly be a fork or something got loose on me internally and now i cant get it back on to re engage into the right gear. Like the internal linkages, or something along those lines.

I am currently looking for another transmission.
Worst 2 weeks of my life.
What would you say I could find one for? Or how spendy is a rebuild?

Thanks

Look I would rock that tranny till it started to grind. The wheels turning is normal until the liquid gets nice and hot and still might move. Think even in neutral parts in ur tranny are moving. I would take it to a tranny shop and make sure before you buy a new one.

Yeah my car is stuck in gear. I hit the brakes in neutral and it just dies. I know that the wheels moving are normal, but its stuck in a gear.

I just dont feel like getting a tow to a shop, having them tell me the same thing i know, then have to pay the shop for the diagnosis, plus go out and buy a new tranny anyway.

This kinda reminds me of when I destroyed a synchro in my 7. It would always whine, then started to grind. It almost seems like something on the top rack in the tranny is lodged in the dog gears, causing the assembly to spin, even in neutral. Picking up another tranny is probably the best idea. If you haven't already, get rid of the stupid modular clutch. It has some issues of it's own that isn't gear friendly.
