Was his car properly kept up and maintained? Any previous problems related to the drivetrain? Thats a very rare occurance. My GSX that I had never had any problems. Only reason I got rid of it was because I wanted a Spyder and now I'm in the process of aquiring parts to convert the drivetrain to GSX specs....<IMG src=smileys/smiley17.gif border="0">

<FONT color=black>Transfer cases on 1g's are prone to breaking in high power or high mileage vehicles. Some people weld the transfer case for better durability, but that opens up a new chapter of problems waiting to happen.</FONT>
