Bad news, Drove to work today and 2 blocks from the office i pull out from a stop and just easily gas it (no more then 1/2 throttle) and hear a clunk. Shift was a little hard. Park it, get off and start the nervous drive. Check the oil after warm and its fine. hear rattling when at lower RPM's and in 1st. Then realize im reving in 1st to long and finally hit another gear, 3rd

I LOST 2nd. I still haven't checked the vacuum line but with so much rattling and some grinding im positive its gone.

Now how do i tell the wife? she will blame me for, "GOing crazy with it" but oh well. Ill just wait a few weeks then tell her i need to check something and OOH no, baby its broke. im debating on a TH400 or just rebuild this with stronger stuff.
