Dumb butt here. Been driving stangs for 28 years. I picked up a 99 (35 fifth ann) last month. Very nice with a T-45.
I was parking it last night, barely engaged the clutch and slipped my stick out of first (sort of half way between first and nuetral). "GRINDdddddd" for about .4 sec. Immediatly put the clutch back down again. Could this have done any long term damage to my trany / first gear / syncro? It still goes into first fine, no problem . One more thing I should add... the clutch needs replacement and fully engaged takes full pedal (up) for full pressure.... but actually starts engaging about 1/4 pedeal. It was around 1/4 pedel when this happened.
