We're talking about Island Ford?? Damn...I mean they fudged up on me a few times but I can't believe they turned you away. I didn't know the B&M voids any warranty's either....I take it you don't have the original shifter right? I agree with dave on crazy horse...I remember after we got our cars dynoed there I was telling this guy Iwork with where I went and he was like, wow I read about that shop in MM&FF all the time. It would suck to have to pay out of pocket though...sounds like you ate a syncro to me. I destroyed my 4th gear syncro racing....it grinds if I shift into 4th close to redline. I dunno i fdouble clutching it would help...usually don't have time for that lol!
