I don't think I'd give shep any more $.
Try the TRE option

OH MAN! thats rough, I thought shep was god?
Shep is THE best trans guy around.
If there was a problem with the trans, Shep would have warrantied it.
MORE THAN LIKELY though, the clutch and/or shifter cables needed adjusting. Synchro's just magically don't start grinding, but the absolutely shitty aftermarket clutches for DSM's are usually to blame.
Keep in mind one good mis-shift can wipe out synchros, and/or a poor disengaging clutch can slowly wear them out. A change in fluid could have made the previous damage more evident.
Should I have blamed Shep when I couldn't shift my car above 8500rpm? No, that's the problem of the clutch.
Just putting this out there before a bunch of stupid rumors get tossed around.
BTW, TRE has that great 3 month wait time usually, and you have a greater chance of banging a supermodel in Youngstown than you do of Jon @ TRE answering the phone.
