you sure it's not the 5th gear synchro? i'd say it's impossible to destroy a tranny in 2k miles, but you are talented

only 5th gear? i think you should have the tranny looked at. I had a oem clutch on my Honda and put 400+ mi on it and it made a worn bearing noise. Since I had allready replaced my tranny last year me and everyone else assumed it was the throwout or pilot bearings. Bought a 3puck & lw flywheel and had it installed but turned out it was the tranny instead. I could have used that money for the trans. Yours sounds like it's still under warranty, mine wasn't.

i'm 99% sure its not the tranny. judge ito drove the car and he also thinks its the clutch. ALSO! if i am at the line at the dragstrip and rev the car to the rev limiter. the car starts going forward and the clutch autodisengages. there is def something wrong with the clutch
