So to sum up this glorious thread, a new owner decides to spin up his tranny to a ridiculous speed and breaks something that ends up getting covered under warranty. He does this despite the owner's manual specifically warning him not to do so, which let's be honest, he probably didn't read in the first place. Then he comes on here, insults the car, and says "hey guys, why aren't we paying attention to this issue that literally all manual transmission cars have? Why are manual transmissions hard to drive for inexperienced drivers? Somebody should do something about that. Despite only suffering minor damage due to my attempt at grenading it, Ford transmissions are crap. I should have bought a Civic".
Great thread, would read again.
