About 5 minutes ago I was standing out side and my friend start my car and rev it a little bit. Next thing I know there is this loud clunking noise and sparks shot out from what looked like the tranny. What would could this be????????? Please Help
 
Can't be good. Sounds like you'll have to open the tranny up anyway to diagnose and/or fix the problem. It almost sounds to me like yout flywheel was badly cracked and the violent acceleration of it from revving was the last straw as it flew apart. I could be completely wrong though.
 
Okay I had to work but before I went I took the tranny off my car for the 100th time. (getting good and fast at it now) Clutch is in one peace as is the flywheel. Theres a violent ticking in the head. Now I am taking the head off in hope that the valves aren't bent and hitting the pistons. Good thing I still have a warrenty on my rebuilt head I guess
