Sorry for the delay, I found the culprit for my transmission issues stuck to the debris magnet.

I can either rebuild the reverse synchro or I can call puma speed and order a new transmission. Spoiler alert I already called puma speed

Honestly I never abused reverse and it didn't show any signs of failure it just broke. I could understand shearing all three of those keepers if I was going 10 miles an hour and I threw it in reverse or something but I didn't.

My favorite pic...
Reverse is failing here too. It locks up once in a while, seems maybe the lockout mechanism engages. Hard to get any gear regardless of clutch pedal.
Time for a Clark unit*

So I rebuilt this motor mount about two oil changes ago less than 10,000 mi and it's already failing again. S280 (2) Mountune (0)
I think you need the stiffer inserts. Ask Ron if the Whoosh inserts would fit this. They look to be the same size, but IDK.

I have the energy suspension inserts in both side mounts. And I just ordered the complete Vibra Tech set from Whoosh. Fingers crossed Ron sent them overnight.

Also, it doesn't look like you lubed it.
