Default trany help?

I lost 5th gear and reverse awhile back... I'll admit, I shifted like a retard when I tried to hit 5th hard.

1st thru 4th work fine, but I cant even get 5th or reverse to engage.

I heard that I could get a kit to repair the synchros and also heard that I might as well just get another trany. I'm lookin for opinions or ideas on what route I should take.

I have a 96 cobra..t45 trany

Thanks in advance

You probably broke the 5th/reverse fork.

Always be nice to your overdrive gear(s). They are the smallest and can take little abuse.

Or instead of buying a whole nother car the t56 trans is a direct bolt up for any 4.6L.
