    sorry to hear that man. same thing happened to me last year, tranny cracked like an egg. i was only going about 10mph though. my car jerked really bad and stalled, then i looked behind me to see a big puddle of oil and my pinion gears lying on the ground.

    Re: This is One Bad Day

    Wow I am sorry to know such a thing happened. That sounds scarely if that happens when I am carrying my family. Is there any know reason for this like high milage / super high power engine / lack of t/m fluid, etc?

    Is this a maintenance item? Where exactly is the pin?

    Sorry to hear that
    Sure you can't just borrow someone else's car until you can swap blocks?

    Of course I'm lazy. If I wanted to work on my car I'd have gotten a DSM
