I just did a suncoast kit in my 5speed. In the process I made a novice mistake that I'm curious if I'm screwed or not. Long story short I pulled the springs off of the C1 spring cage, slightly bending the ends in the process. I realized it was the wrong cage after thery were all off and I went to put the new springs from the transgo kit on. Anyways I got all the springs as straight as possible, but even still this made the snap ring that holds the C1 spring cage insanely tight... am I screwed? or will be okay? If not what should I do? Thanks in advance.

Buy a new C1 spring cage as it may screw the release into 5th gear. why take a chance?

Alright thanks Mike. Well that's kinda what I was thinking, but the guy that was helping me said I wouldn't be able to find one, so I should just run it. But I think I already found one on here. Thanks again.
