put it back together and took it out. it seemed fine. hit an interstate and opened it up a bit. it didnt feel like i was gaining speed anymore so i looked down and seen i was stuck at 6500 rpms. i think i was in 5th. it wouldnt go above 6500rpms with WOT. also in low gears when it hit higher rpms it sounded funny. i guessing bad sync? unless its somthing simple i probably wont have time to fix it till saterday.

what i know about this problem
1. it will rev to the the red with clutch in
2. it seems to rev to red in both 1st and 2nd (it was actually under redline but still had plenty of pull.)
3. at high revs, maybe 5 or 6000 rpms it makes a weird sound. no longer a smooth vrooooomm.
4. in 5th or maybe 6th gear it wont go past 6500 rpms at 70 mph (i dont remember what gear i was in but that sounds like 5th, i think)

also what do you guys think of this link is this ture?
