Last Thursday the F4AEL started to make a few new noises, with a bit of a shift flare at 2-3, and chatter while in OD going uphill. Dumped in 1/2 pint of SeaFoam AT/PS cleaner, the 2-4 shift and chatter went away, but chunky noises and a turbo-esque whine from the torque converter told me it was getting near the end. Pulled the pan to find a metallic slurry of ATF, and the two magnets were so coated in ferrous metal they resembled Portobello mushrooms. Off to Japan Engines, and picked up an import unit for $500. Came off a late model something or another and spend the first day just replacing axles seals and transferring over all the Protege bits. 201,560 out of the original unit...
The F4AEL is dead... Long live the F4AEL.
Looking into the Sonnax spool valve for the 2-3 shift flare, but gotta look into the sloppy 1-2 shift first. Gonna pull the spool valve tomorrow and see if it has any crud in it.-Michael

I decided to find out what happened to my transmission, causing it to lock the front wheels on the interstate.
First, I gathered the proper tools.
Next, I got the case off. Everything looks like its still there.
First thing I checked was the magnet. Of course, it was full of metal.
Then I noticed something next to it. Little pieces of brass scattered in the bottom.
The problem was exactly what I suspected before I tore into it; the 3-4 synchronizer exploded, causing it to lock in third. You can see one of the splits in this pic.
I'm going to try to source a new synchro and rebuild it, since that should be cheaper than a new trans. And while its apart, I'm hoping to find an Mfactory LSD to throw in it.

I'm 100% sure Matt will have a reply to the suggested Short throw shifter that goes like this:
"**** NO! ****ing piece of **** short throw shifters are complete ****."
AFAIK, Atomic does not like short shifters. Most likely he will put some crazy shift knob that looks like a dildo on the stock shifter, that way he can shift and steer with his right hand simultaneously, while blowing kisses to random people with his left hand.Current:
