Welcome to AF, in the future post the year of car, the trans is done, assuming it is full of fluid? Even if it wasn't after the 5k rev bit it's done now! The trans will have to be overhauled or replaced, not a job for a dyer.

well that is what i thought, i wonder where can i find some manules to do the over haul my self? and thanks for the help so a shot trans, do i take it to a shop because i have no idea about cars yet, or take as a blessing in cover and take the chance to learn some trans problems on my own??? what to do.

Realistically this job requires an engine supports,a trans support jack and reasonable mechanical backround, tools, and access to tech info, again not a dyer job for most.

I Agree with Max, rev'n to 5k did it in if it was possible to save it. Also this is not a DIY job unless your very mechanicly inclined.
