It's only cosmetic damage. It'll buff out.

Put a sticker over it, and you won't even notice.

put it back together and pack the case with sawdust.

On a more serious note, an n/a engine did that, damn!

i couldn't get the car into 4th gear a few years ago at VIR.. thought it was a bent shift fork or something. Got back in the paddock area and drained the tranny oil... nice and clean. Pulled the lower case cover and 4th gear FELL out on top of me. The actual gear was in 3 major peices and about a bazillion (scientific unit) tiny peices. The syncro was non existent also.



Yours was in an NA car? Impressive!

you can destroy any transmission by doing a bad misshift of continously having ham fisted shifts

Ya I would hate to see how mine looked, gears were tight.
