Question

Hey guys, I need an advice.

I was on a track day this Saturday, pushing the car pretty hard and unfortunately missed the shift from 3rd (@8000 rpm) to 4th twice during the day and got the grind noise. I wasn't pushing it in too hard so I just let it go back to neutral, pushed the clutch fully in again and put 4th in.

After the track day we had some street racing with 2 other guys (don't ask) and I noticed vibration noise @ 7000 rpm and higher. First I though it was smth in the glovebox at a weird frequency, but then I wanted to shift and I noticed bigger vibration in the gear stick and that it's the stick which is doing the noise (when I pushed the stick it just a lil bit down, it got louder).

The question is, are the transmission mounts weared out or did I mess up my gearbox? :-/

I tried it again later and the vibration wasn't that bad and a day after it was actually almost gone, but I still know that there's smth wrong and want to fix it. Thanks for any advice!
