Second Gear Sound

[Littlestan]

Interesting... how do you think the tranny applied the lateral force to bend the rods, i'm not saying it didn't happen but i'm just interested as to how you think the forces were applied, twisting?

Once I opened up the wrecked can and seen the damage done, it was hard to tell just HOW the forces were applied.

The gears of the tranny are mounted on the shafts, this everyone knows. What I was suggesting happened is that the bearings the shafts are mounted to failed in some form (wear and tear, burned up, etc.) and caused too much free play to operate correctly resulting in complete failure. HOW the shafts were bent, I have no idea. Total carnage...

Holy hell, those are some pretty beefy shafts. No bending those bad boys.
