Long story short, I snapped my drive shaft in half. Broke my torque arm off my rear end, smashed the complete shit out of my trans tunnel, Have a leaking transmission etc. Took AAA almost 3 hours to come get me, 3 miles away from their building in clifton park. Been a rough night.
I will sayw this. Snapping the driveshaft on the 1-2 shift, scared the balls out of me.
Jeeeez. At least youre alright. What’s the plan now?
fix it.
I think my new quest to get more power, will be on hold for a while. Im still trying to pull my balls out of my throat. I think that was one of the scariest things I have ever dealt with, and I have been through some shit.
All forum foolishness aside, I’m glad that you or anyone else didn’t get hurt, and that the damage is repairable.
What Travis said. Glad to see your ok, not the biggest deal in the world.
Time to put in a driveshaft safety loop. Theyre about 30 bucks from Summit and not too hard to install.
Supposedly required for cars running 12’s if I remember right too.
paul, my torque arm has a driveshaft safety loop built into it.
thats not the part that did damage. The part that was still attached to the rear end is what smashed around.
oh, ok. Im not familiar with the torque arm setup but I was told I should put a loop in mine (and did).
Good excuse to get out of the rental the 14th…jk
