Yesterday i down shifted pretty hard and about ten mins later there was random bangs coming from the driver side ... it only seems to do it during slow speeds and slower turns .... i broke apart the tranny and got some fluid and it def has metalic flakes in it ...... hopefully i can pull it apart and get some metal out ... any one have a 5 spd trans around the philly area thx

Forget a "new trans and clutch". Just buy 'em both used.

It sounds like it might just be the diff gears. Take it apart and look for the damage, you can replace the diff parts allot cheaper than a whole trans.
