big problems with the t/a took my car to the track tonight because finnaly got the stall in. anyways, i pull up to the light, i start staging it, the light turns and CLUNK CLUNK. The tires start to spin and my rear starts to clunk. i finally catch traction, run a 15, and get my slip. I shut the car off thinking i destroyed the 10 bolt. Tried to start the car and move it in drive and got no response. I come to find out only reverse and 1 are working. When i start off, only 1 works but as i get going i can shift through the gears smoothly. Also once its back in drive as long as im in motion the car will switch gears fine. As far as the rear end goes, i think i just blew my POSI unit out because one of the side gears has always been missing a tooth. But I dont know whats wrong with the car not moving in drive. Is the rearend hopefully related? any help would be gladly appreciated.

I'm amazed at some of the **** I see posted here.
What do you think happens when the other gears are lined up with that missing tooth and you launch.
And do you have any idea how unsafe it is to have a missing tooth floating around in the gear oil. Sure you may have removed the ONE that you SEEN broken off. What happens when another one breaks loose and gets stuck in between the ring and pinion while you're going around a corner.

You should get the rear fixed, then work on diagnosing the trans problem.
