I did the same thing with my reverse! But I wasn't p***ed off. I was showing off and it started clunking real bad and then it went poof. GONE! lol I ended up just buying a used tranny for $250 because having reverse fixed was going to cost $$350 at my local transmission shop.

You probably chewed the gears off then. I think you need to find something a little less expensive to abuse when you get pissed!
