Transmission or SC Clutch/Belt?
Hi People, hoping to get some expert clues on whats happened:
Did about 6 hard runs on a chassis dyno in 3rd gear and as soon as i left the shop the following symptoms began and have not changed since (3 days).
In 3rd from almost exactly 2000-3000 rpm, every time and in every transmission mode, it feels like the the car drops into neutral. Really hoping its just the SC clutch or a belt slip and not the transmission.
I can see on the pulley directly below the SC pulley, the belt is 1-2mm off the pulley and a bit of belt dust nearby.
Anyone experienced this before? Any input would be much appreciated.

Try it this way:
Disconnect the SC clutch cable/plug so the SC is disabled entirely - then drive.
If it still does what you described its at least not SC Clutch/Belt...
I can not imagine what you are describing, care to post a picture of it?
