The nut that holds 5th gear on can work its way loose, and then worse case scenario fall off or something. I guess a symptom is popping out of fifth.
What route are you going with the tranny?
I guarantee that's what happened Ling Ling. Here is a pic of that same nut from my 1st tranny. Except in mine, the nut actually sheared right off with a piece of the shaft still in it.

Also, if you have 950cc injectors and a Walbro 255HP, you have plenty of injector and fuel pump. Here is a video of a buddy of mine's setup (95tsi on here) And he has quite a few more mods than you on an E316G and E-85. He is on 880cc injectors and made 347HP and 361TQ.

Just a stocker, I was hoping this transmission would last me through this year, so then when I garage it for the winter I could upgrade then, but since I'm getting the replacement checked out by Chad so I'll be okay for a while I think...I hope :lol:

I'm damn near positive you're right. The timing with 5th gear popping out and the case cracking it makes perfect sense. I suppose it could be a lot worse.

That's a nice car! My expectations are being raised the more I read about e85 with the e316g.
When the transmission is out I'll be be doing the fuel pump rewire and addressing some of the small stuff. There's still a hefty exhaust leak from between the manifold and turbo, so a gasket is definitely in store. Also, the VC gasket is starting to seep a little, and it seems pretty wet by the oil pan too. Overall it'll be a good time to get a lot things done.

Figured while I have some time I'd actually try to get something done on the car. So I relocated my wideband to a more visible spot. I didn't like how I had to physically look down to see it when I'm driving.

^That spot is way worse IMO, I like looking at the gauge cluster in one glance see everything I need, but whatever u like.
I can't believe you are underestimating E85.

Before it was below the stereo and it was a bitch to just glance at it. I would like it mounted on my steering column eventually, but this will tide me over for now.
I no longer underestimate the power of e85. I've been doing some serious reading and now I know I was short changing the potential of it. No further mods until I max out the e316g! Thanks to everyone who opened my naive eyes to power of e85! :lol:

yeah, e85 is no joke...it will seriously make you laugh because of the gains :D. My cousin with a 2000 WRX RS w/ the ver.7 sti swap went from, IIRC, 280 awhp to around 340awhp from just switching to e316g+e85+tune. that car seriously goes. did i mention he did that with the e316g?!! i want a ride when you go ethanol!

If you think that, you are either seriously retarded, or haven't read anything about the process in which it takes to make E-85
