The snap-ring repair (if that's what it is) is a complete teardown.
If you had supported the mainshaft on the 2nd gear, tapping the reluctor on could break the snap-ring. If the bottom half of the trans was still together when you put on the reluctor, then almost impossible you could have popped the snap-ring.

he's offered to do it for free, we took the tail shaft and front off and found the bearing in the front was shattered, 2nd gear was loose on the shaft, he wiggled it around and showed me.
The bearing was so shot on the front that the input shaft wobbled like a bitch, and fluid leaked out behind the slave cylinder from the shaft moving. From first glance he said it looks like i need a new seal in the front, the bearing in the front, and the snap ring for 2nd gear.
If someone that rebuilds these has a few spare or used parts like this they'd let go, please let me know.
Mike and TheSource, the car was able to use 2nd gear perfectly when I could get it into 2nd, and there was no immediate visible damage on the gear. Is it possible the gear does not need replaced?
