i feel like im gonna ruin my engine or clutch or tranny im scared cause i just invested 4thosand into stereo and 2thosand into cosmestics stuff, my insurance and car payment a month is more then i can afford already let alone something break,,

how lond do trannes last hopefully soon ill stop grinding just sometimes i shift ****ed up like cause im not paying as much attention , ill treat it good from now on . i think its a mental problem i think its harder to shift into a gear now but i think just cause i had a dream my tranny ****ed up cause i grinded that night.

Well, I had to change out my tranny not too long ago. It started grinding at higher RPM's, and I knew it was shot after that. If your gonna race, which I don't recommend, learn to drive the car and master shifting before you race. If you are not good at shifting slowly, why try to shift fast? Don't kill the car bro, cause if your like most of us, then you only have one of them.
