yeah the fluid will drain out.
and what will it look like when gears go out?
a big chunk of metal missing from the ring gear, or pinion, though usually ring.
sounds like you shouldnt be worried about getting more fluid considering the gears are toast.

probably broke the carrier since it's still going down the road OK other than the shake. The gears will be gone soon if you don't shut it down. Then again, with the carrier shattered/cracked the gears are junk anyway. Time for an Auburn pro carrier and a new set of 4.10's!!!

If you break them while your moving, if you keep moving you'll be able to drive it, it'll just be really really bad sounding, lol.

i feel for you man...
i torched my 4.10s....and when i drove it home ended up lockin up synchros 1 and 2. at a dead stop i could shift into all gears, once i was rolling, could not get back in them til a dead stop again. so, at all costs do not drive the car til the new gears are in.....

I was lucky when my 4.10's went ... the car actually made it home (about ~20 miles
) under its own steam, and all that went were 2 teeth off the pinion. That was after a couple hard days on a road course, mind you!
...then ~2 weeks later and 2nd gear started slipping, so just last night I finished up the A4 --> M6 swap!!

When my 4.10's went, I put back the original 3.23's to that carrier. I cleaned and inspected all the bearings really well, and they all looked good still, so I re-used them. The shims can be cleaned and re-used without a problem, but they may not be the right thickness you need anyway to go back to the stock gears.
