Default What do you think broke?

Went to the track last night and on the 1-2 shift something gave in the drivetrain. I am thinking it is something in the trans and here is why.

1. With the car in gear it doesn't turn the driveshaft when you give it gas.

2. I don't think it is the rear because with the trans in neutral I can't turn the driveshaft by hand. When I broke the rear last time I could turn the driveshaft with the trans in neutral.

I haven't had a chance to really get under the car, it was dark so we just pushed it on the trailer.

What should I start checking for when I have a chance to look at it on Sunday?

Maybe flexwheel or TC bolts/nuts? Pull the inspection cover and look.

I'm going to assume you didn't drive it home...

Like wrd mentioned, pull off the inspection cover and look. Sounds flywheel/torque converter-related.

No we trailered it home. I really hope its not the converter since it is only a year old.

Default trans

hi, did it make any weird noises??? i had my transmission pump blow and the car would not go into any gears. i was getting on it and it went to shift from first to second and then it started banging the rev limiter and i had no gears. when it happened my trans made no noises at all. it just would not move or go into any gear. i pulled the trans and it was the pump that blew. maybe you will get lucky and thats all that happened to you.
good luck

sounds like your transmission is not transmissing
