Today I was coming home from Cory's, my friends house, and I noticed that my car wouldnt stay in fifth gear. After driving for a bit I finally got it to go in gear but it kicked itself right back out. I went a little farther and tried one more time, this time it went into fifth gear but it kicked the shifter out of the spot for fifthgear, like it was in nuetral but I was still excelerating. After about six seconds it finally kicked it out of gear and reved to about 6k. Then I hear it. A clunk clunk clunk. I looked in my rear view and cory swerved over to dodge a piece of my tranny. Now Im in a big ass bind. I was planning on ordering the rebuild kit for my other motor this weekend, which Im still going to do, and now Im out of a car all the way. This is what I plan on doing now:

Get the block done and the crank walk fix
Buy a new tranny
put it together slowly and do it perfect.

Hopefully having it done by spring and ready to tear up the strip.

Does this sound like a good plan and what could have caused my tranny to do this?

bent shift fork. you might be able to bandaid it by adjusting your linkage but it sounds to me like a bent shift fork.
