Alright, alright... the guy asked for TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS, or HELP.. or ADVICE or something of that nature.
I think we've established that some people feel he shouldn't have broken anything, but that changes nothing of the matter at hand.
it did, indeed, break and he wants help... Those that can provide help.. please do.. those that can't.. please stay out of it.

So you're jumping to conclusions that it's Terry's fault? That's the way you are coming across. Just because he built it doesn't mean you have free will to beat the sh!t out of it. It will still break if abused.

When you toggle the shifter between gears can you hear it changing the gears? I find it kind of hard to believe that you broke the shift bolt on a launch. The clutch is a possibility, Especially if you are popping the clutch alot. The springs in the clutch could have went, or you could have broke the disc. But you would have heard a pop or something to that nature. If you can put it into gear and can hear it going back and forth in gear. Have you turned on the car yet to try and run through the gears? And if you did, did the speedo climb when you pulled out the clutch.
On another note I am little surpised at some the posts in this thread. He is looking for a little help, not to be looked down upon. It troubles me because I can closley relate to him. I enjoy driving my car hard and pushing the limits. It has nothing to do with Learning how to drive a car. It is just common sense if you are hard on something it will evently break. NOT an issue of driver ability.
