tranny slipping?

[jaymasta]

hey guys, so something happened to my madforce kyosho today, I was driving and all of a sudden it stalled, started it up again and it stalled, started it up with some gas and it ran fine, until i let it settle down and then it staled, anyways i can spin the transmission in either direction now, and it is making a funny metal to metal grinding noise now, iam assuming it has something to do with the clutches or somthing Iam not quite sure how the 3 spd transmission works, anyways I guess I'll be tearing into it tomorow, if you guys have any advice, or tips on what it is or what to look for that would be very helpfull, Iam a newb and don't really know what Iam doing with it, thanks again
Jason

Well I torn into the car today, took apart the tranny, engine, basically everything, found out that I broke my clutch spring somehow, so I guess that means that it was enganging always, hence that everytime I stoped the car it would stall the engine, anyways I took my head off as well and my car does not have a head gasket, although in the diagram that came with my car it does have a headgasket and also gives me a part number, what do you think is up with that, doesn't come with one, built on a monday morning, or what?
I will be going to my LHS tomorow to see about all of this and try to get some replacment parts, I know whats wrong with the tranny so I not to concerned about that but what about this head gasket thing, could my engine have gotten damage or anything?

It's there. it is realy thin and somtimes get stuck to the sleve. It is in most casses the same color as the sleve. Check the head also.

holy poop dude, you were right, the thing is EXTREMELY thin, probobly thinner then my feel guage goes, anyways thanks for letting me know, that would have been a little embarasing, and it was stuck real good to the top of the cyclinder. thanks again
