it sounds like you may have damaged something. this could cause grinding, but your reverse is probably shot. can you see your flywheel fro just looking uder your car? how many miles on your clutch and is it stock? you should not be able to just see the flywheel by looking under the car. If you did not have the proper pieces covering it, all it would take would be a rock to take out a lot of teeth. Post up some pics if you get a chance. also a unbalanced flywheel could damage your motor as well.

so how can i fix the reverse problem? i can see the flywheel teeth because i took off the cover pience to look inside it.. 50k miles on the clutch never been changed yet everything all stock..

the reverse problem is inside the tranny, contact sheptrans.com Or if your car is completely stock and its a 04 or up take it to the dealer and talk to them. drivetrain 10yr/100k...... but if your car has mods you are probably looking at a tranny rebuild.

the car is a 03 i think.. and it's completely stock but it has a aftermarket FMIC and BOV.. previous owner did it iono why.. would they still warranty the tranny? and would the warranty work for me since i'm not the original owner?

I think on the 03's there is only a 3yr, 36k warranty so you could not get it, but you may want to contact the dealership and see the warranty history. I would choose what kind of clutch you want and contact sheptrans.

well today i brought the car to the shop. they said my gearbox can cause the tranny to not go into reverse. could this be true? where is the gear box located? is the the big piece thats under the car next to the tranny? because that piece is leakin a bit of oil..

I would say your gear box is your tranny....its bolted right to the motor. pretty much under where your battery sits.
