The sound of grinding metal is always a good teacher.

If you shreded the reverse gear it's now in all the bearings and passages
in the tranny. Only a complete overhaul will clean things out.
However you may have just burned out the clutch pack and that can be
replaced. You won't know till you drop the pan and check the fluid.

If it's the same model as your Jeep that would be what I would do.
Then sell your old core.
Any thoughts on what I should do? Besides take much better of my poor> Jeep?

Repeat after me,
"More hosepower means bad things happen faster."
"Them parts worked better inside."
"The only part a mechanic can't fix is the loose nut behind the wheel."

 Hi Dave,
It's a part of growing up, I once put my parents '56 Ford:
http://www.billhugh­es.com/56ford.jpg in reverse showing friends how I
could stop the car without brakes, realizing from a previous try it
killed the engine I gave a few more RPMs and lit the tires on fire, had
to quickly drive off the blow them out. Now at car and bike shows it's a
contest.
Anyway if the that transmission is new and not just a rebuilt like
you could do to yours, I'd buy it.
God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O
