Wow. At least it wasn't a tiny poof of smoke like most car "explosion" videos are!

..word, unless he broke the output shaft of the trans when the case broke. Hopefully not.

I have a nice collection of these parts from my car, and a few others.

Time for an upgrade.

If someone knows the dude, I have a brand new trans/diff from RPM still on the pallet if he/anyone needs. Cheap. Again, still attached to the shipping pallet.

No brace, if I had one it would of held the case together and snapped the input shaft.

Only split the case, pinion gear half of the case flung off. I put another stock diff in for the time being but if you've got a good deal I might be interested. c5 or c6 diff? t56?
