Well, broke another getrag (2nd one). I was in 2nd gear getting onto the eway at about half throttle and it made a loud clunk and continued to make alot of noise, I was able to get off at the next exit still and pull it up onto the trailer. Its leaking a small amount of fluid out of the bell housing. I'm sure the diff twisted on me again. A month ago or so I shook the axles and seemed to be a bit more play than before. This one put up a good fight though, almost 2 years. I have another spare but with unknown mileage. I might take it out Thursday or Friday and see what happened.

Just venting a bit, hopefully I'll still make it to the ZZP weekend festivities.

Which 6 speed are you referring to ?

Probably the F40 six speed from a Pontiac G6. They're conservatively rated for 300 lbft of torque.

I think he was also being sarcastic
