I had another post about how my speedometer stopped working on my 98.5 SVT and now this new problem happened later today (the same day), but I don't think my 2 problems are related.

Anyways, I recently replaced with Pete and Tim my clutch (spec stage 1, my flywheel (fidanza), Steeda short shifter, and we put in Tims newer trans with a Torsen LSD. Everything felt great for the past few weeks until today... I was driving nice and easy going to shift from 2nd to 3rd and I had no 3rd gear. Then I tried 4th and nothing, then 5th and nothing. I coasted into a parking lot and my shifter moves around freely from 1 straight across to 5th and all around in a big circle. It is if I have no gears! Or one big sloppy gear!

From searching and Stazis over the phone diagnositic, my best guess is that my shift tower bolt came loose, but I have no idea how hard that is to fix?!?! Is it a 5 minute job or a 3 hour job? I need my car for work tomorrow! Any ideas or advice!?!? It can't be a blown diff or a bad trans... and I can't imagine my clutch going after a proper break in period. Plus when the clutch went last time is was nothing like this.

Thanks,

Jeff
