Finally pulled the busted 5 speed out. I got into some wheel hop in 2nd gear and then it suddenly sounded like marbles bouncing around in the case. Then it siezed.
You can't see it in the pics, but the shaft actually is bowed slightly, and the case is cracked where old pieces of gear got wedged between the gears. So basically, its trash. Shame, since is has less than 18k miles on a new 3rd gear, two new sliders, and all newer OEM fiber synchros.
This was the main reason for my automatic conversion..
