Well, I didn't break anything at the track...but driving down to my friend's house on Saturday I did. I was in 4th gear (didn't have 5th) crusing, as I've done so many times...accellerated up a hill on 70, and I hear this awful crunch, metal grinding noise...and 4th gear just revs. Luckily I put it in third, and that still worked *phew, my whole tranny isn't smoked...yet* and I pulled off the exit that, luckily enough, I was very close to. Called my friend Rob, who's an SR20 guru, and a few other helping hands, went and picked up the spare tranny I already had, and set off, on back roads...50MPH max, for Rob's parents' house (where we do all of our auto repair 
). Got there, put the car on jack stands, old trans out...new trans in...and only 3 hours (of actual working time...with an hour break to pick up another friend) later, I was back on the road and I have 5th gear now.
And man oh man, you guys should have seen the gear oil that came out of this thing...it looked like grey water. Grey water, with a bunch of tiny metal shavings in it lol.
