Default i broke it....

lets see - theclutch started actingstrangethen the whole gearbox half of the transmission had to be picked up out of the road - the output shaft to the transfer case was found in the back of the car after going up through the floor....[sm=smiley35.gif]
theres about half a bell housing still bolted to the block and a little piece of aluminum hanging from the trans mount

so i also found the F[sm=smiley35.gif]ingears on both sides of the block where the 2 bottom bell housing bolts go through are broke off, that should be entertaining welding cast iron back together while its still in the car
then im gonna make some mega braces for them and add a roll mount to the transmission so hopefully this wont happen again, by the way evrything broke it looks like the block broke first causing the transmission to crack then come unglued

buy my tranny, buy my tranny . I have a galant VR4 tranny that i have been trying to get rid of since i dont have a car to put it in anymore. I have the t-case for it too. Let me know

And man it seems like you have more fun fixing stuff with that car than actually driving it
