i know little about k swaps, did you end up with the "glass transmission"? and is this one example of it crapping out?
The glass transmission thing is referring to ALL the k series transmissions due to them typically being beat up quite easily in high powered cars (which is a key difference from older chassis transmissions) and it being less forgiving in situations like mishifts.
No this is not an example of it. In my novel you'll see that things stemmed from something other than the transmission. Continually daily driving without completely resolving my issues ultimately led to a transmission problem. This is an example of human error.
The common K trans problems are, the 2nd and 3rd synchros going out (due to mishifts) and 2nd gear wearing out which is typically the first gear to even get traction. The B series transmissions just seem to take more negative abuse.
K -b trans would be interesting lol

Lol would be slow. B gearing is wider than the slowest manual k trans in most cases. The CTR and ITR would be the only ones quicker than the 5spd k's

Search the local listings for homes or apartments. You're bound to find some society around there somewhere since people are like everywhere nowadays.

I dont know anything about anything you're asking. It's just a car. If there's some special group for them, I wouldn't know about it.
Car was put back together last night.
I got my trans welded up about a day after I posted the hole in the case and then I snagged an oem throwout bearing and shift fork boot
Threw the junker back together leaving the marred up flywheel and clutch combo as is
Screwed up my clutch line on accident, so I bought the new version clutch line from hybrid racing
Drove the car once after having it all back together and I'm not a happy camper. The clutch slips at WOT and I ran into an axle issue. I decided to park the car and go and fix all the little things that I either just "dealt with" or didn't tend to in the first place. I figured it's time to stop messing around and get the car 100% instead of just usable. Little neglected things have been eating away at my wallet, so the car will be side lined until I refresh and/or fix everything the way I want

Put the junker back in the garage for a mini teardown. Gonna take my time since I'm not ready to drop a grand or so out of nowhere. Pulled the hood off so that I don't get the urge to go drive it until I'm finished.
Hopefully this look will be changed up as well.
