On my way home yesterday i was getting on it alittle, I came into this little spot were i like to get on the gas through a few S turns anyway i drop it down to third at about 45mph to start my run though. I go though them i on the exit i shift from 3rd to 4th at about 4500RPM and I hear a Loud POP almost like a breaking sound and now it shifts very hard into every gear.

I literally have to force the stick into each gear, WTF did i do??

Could it be a shift fork or a syncro?????


THanks

The t45 was in the 01 unless it was late 01, then it was that T3560 or something, then in 03-04 they used the T56 which is a 6speed.
