Is there any need for worrying, or is the ZF6 trans heavy duty enough to withstand the occational miss?

That sound is like a rock crusher chewing away on those big rocks at the crushing plant.

Luckily for me several buddies was watching when it happened...lol.

As long as its very occasional.... The sound you hear is the brass teeth grinding on the synchro assembly.... which is not great, but theyll survive a few missed shifts...
