Exactly. This happened to me, but I got very lucky: It snapped when parked in front of my house, my bro knew the problem immediately, got the bolt out of the tranny on the first try, and we even had a spare MTX-75 sitting around with a good shift tower on it. Hate me yet?

You know you launch hard when you beat oncoming traffic through their own crosswalk lines.
