Focus tower upgrade don't mean jack my good man....they break too, he's since developed a mod for the tower that eliminates the problem(i have it )

Did you loose gears while shifting hard?

ok ok ok...

I would have to agree, I can't be the first guy to break it with a stock engine!!!

I have a K&N air filter!!
That's it!!!

and it's a drop in!!

How do I go about trouble shooting this?
What am I looking for.

Like I said I have the focus tower.

can I just unbolt it and pull?

yeah that's what happened...

Yes I like to spin the tires
Yes I like to shift hard
Yes I like to haul ass

NO I don't think I need to learn to drive.

And hector, I've heard your stories, I think I could out drive you.

Um yeah. I don't break stock trans.....not to mention built trans.

4 trans in a year...I would be looking at the driver not the trans.
