Cadillac CTS-V - pics of the rear diff carnage

So I got around to removing what's left of my drive train... pretty good breakage

I couldn't remove two of the bolts because the drive shaft was bent

Thanks haha... yea not that I'm happy about it since it's a very costly fix, but I knew the risks of power shifting... figure the pics are worth sharing though

Ouch!!

Yes indeed

That's how ya BREAK STUFF there! At least you're not saying..."There's a noise coming from somewhere and may be leaking a little fluid, but I can't find it". Carnage at it's finest.
Sorry for the misfortune tho.

Haha yea thanks man... guess we'll see what the Creative Steel kit can withstand

What part number was it?

Looks like a job well done. :cheers:

Take out everything but the transmission.

Refreshing to hear someone own up.

I tore the CV boot on my driveshaft, but I was lucky I didn't bend it up.

I took some good 'ole classic plastic baggy and duct tape to make a new "boot" for it until I can swing the nice 1 piece carbon fiber drive shaft I have my eye on.

I have a third gen. diff. that should be here tomorrow.


When I blew my original diff., it only cost me $225 to get a used first gen diff shipped down from New York from the classifieds.

I was rolling again in a week!

Yea haha... Speaking of the tranny how much power/abuse can they handle without upgrade?

Indeed fun times

I bet it was fun doing it.

but I knew the risks of power shifting...

Condolences are in order. :cry:

That's how I broke my first one at a bit less than 5k, a 2-3 shift of all things.
