As some of you are aware, earlier this year I suffered the destruction of yet another tranny. So after months of sitting I finally got the time (and motivation) to tear into the car and begin taking things apart. The damage was far worse than I thought. Here are some pics of what I got going on......enjoy.






So far I have no idea as to how in the world this happened....but I am impressed lol. More pics to come as I continue the tear down.

The trans is no longer connected to the engine. The case is split completly around where the engine bolts up. Never seen anything like this

You should really fork over the money for a torssin diff and GMR chain... I know your cheap n all, but at this point your saving yourself time and money

I know right. You would think only turbo cars would need a 1in chain lol

i don't think the chain or diff would of pervented THAT


coming form some one that has broken every part on a GP at least once including parts that should not even fail (unde hood fuse box) that is impressive

Not really, the boost kicks in much earlier with the s/c set up than a turbo. The sudden kick is what killed the tranny for sure.

I just hope the block is ok!

Block is fine, engine still runs....but the car aint going anywhere. Most of the chain failures happen in the upper RPM band. From what Trannyman told me.

I'm still just in awe over this. So, what's the plan for the new trans?
BTW, you have a nasty exhaust leak going on. You should get that fixed.

That's some heavy duty damage to the tenth degree on that trans. Is it under warranty lol?

Only way I can think of that happening is the torque converter exploding, or the tailshaft bracket that bolts near the diff cover to the block was either loose, missing bolts, or not installed.
