BOOM! Well it appears something in the driveline went BOOM! I was going out to a local hangout on the highway and I accelerated in a clearing in 4th gear and as the rev's got higher it went BOOM and I was like oh **** I hit the rev limiter. Shifted into 5th gear, nothing just revved, put it in 6th and it revved, then almost every gear even 1st gear while going 40-50mph. So I drift to a stop and as i'm going F**K F**K etc etc you get the point. While sitting still with the engine running and revving it I could shift into all gears and the speedo wouldn't move no matter how much I revved the car. So trailered the car home and jacked it up. Turning the rear I can feel a rough spot, not a grinding but rougher. You can feel a difference when putting the car into gear with rolling the rear tires and hear the trans moving in gear. So the car is down, not sure what it is and REALLY REALLY NOT HAPPYE RIGHT NOW!!!!!

 

ehh, i know how you feel .I snapped an axle earlier this week on the street. Was not a fun tow home. On top of that, every bump we hit the car alarm would go off because I had the car locked.

 

Trans doesn't get filled with Astro Glide

 

I am soo beat at least we got extra help to load it on the trailer. I really need a electric winch. That needs to be my next purchase

 

damn bruce. let me know i can rebuild the diff if needed.

if looking for a winch i bought the harbor freight one for 45 bucks. when i bought i figured i would get a couple uses out of it. well been holding up for a couple years now. it is slow but sure beats pushing.

 

Sounds like a torque tube... not fun...

 

Sorry to hear your car broke down

 

Thanks guys.... after the fire in garage tonight I think i'll be purchasing a new car LOL!!! J/K

I keep hearing different opinions of broken main shaft to the trans, torque tube, rear, clutch, flux capaciter.....

 

Wow that sucks, not worse than my sprained knee I just suffered this weekend down the shore. If you need to drag it over I have a torque tube on the shelf and have a trans but not real confident with the trans needs to be looked at and stock 342 rear on the shelf until you find a beefy rear. Let me know if you need a hand.

 

Damn mike sounds like you have a complete drive line over there

 

Corvette driveline sucks and hate having the car down so try to stay stocked. Spare parts are good if you can use them on your car. Stocking crap in the garage you`ll probably never use for the birds.

 

WTF Bruce think you need to go back to a Camaro . Im going to say torque tube since you replaced everything else.

 

Oh man Bruce, Im sorry to hear that!

Maybe you should ask for Vette parts as wedding gifts?

 

Now you're thinking with your DIPSTICK ALEX!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hope it's not too bad and you get it up and runng soon

 

Sounds like sabotage to me I'd dust for prints and line up some suspects starting with the guy you flashed twice at Cecil.

Hope it's not too bad

 

Thats not even funny because I was up by his house Thursday night for a family dinner.

How did the fire start Zturd? You're having all kinds of bad luck man.

 

Not sure it hasn't started yet! DUMBASS!

 

Dumbass

 

that sucks!
