I'm thinkin that i finally have all the peices to the puzzle put together.

1. I bought a transmission that was broke to start with, planning to rebuild it. The person who had it prior to me put their LSD in the tranny and when to run it without aligning the brake plate (AKA the stop ring). They chewed up the 5th / Rev. synchro sleeve set and it welded it self together (and also messed up the bearing in the case). They pulled the tranny apart to get their LSD out and sold it to me with the stock diff.

2. I got the the tranny, bought an LSD, took it to a shop who noticed the bad synchro sleeve set for 5th / rev. They told me what i needed. I went to baranco acura online and got the parts, droped them off at the shop. They called me a week later and i picked up my tranny and paid them 200 in labor.
THE PROBLEM: They never noticed the messed up bearing in the case, there for i never ordered that coz i'm a noob at trannys and didn't know any better than what they told me to order.

3. I drive the car 25 miles, notice problems with reverse since the start (due to the fawked bearing which i found out afterwords has a 1/16th of an inch of play in it).

4. I pull the tranny back out & take it to the shop, they take it apart, stare at it with thumb up ass for a while and then relize that the bearing is fawked. They tell me that they can do the labor again for free but can't help me with the parts at all.

5. I eat bullet. (have to buy more parts, including the bearing this time)
6. I bend over and take it really hard.
