if he was doing it for long enough, he may have ruined some of your Dog Teeth. If he actually was just grinding and grinding away, you may have a potentially terrible transmission problem, and youll be taking your car to a tranny shop soon.

or he may have screwed up your synchros, which could be just as bad. But my guess would be the dog teeth

if you can get a newer one or a brandnew one, what you could do is take the old one out and put the new one with all the knowledge of where stuff goes. if you take it out and have it rebuilt, then it will take a little bit and you might forget stuff, but you can always use bags to lable stuff.

thanks
