Ok so this is a new one for me. After a launch and pull I drove my car home and parked it in the garage. Car ran fine and shifted fine when I shut it off. No weird noises. So I come out the next morning to a long line of gear oil leading up to my garage. Always a good sign.
So I get under the car with no obvious signs of where the leak is. I put my hand inside the clutch fork hole and pull out chunks of aluminum. So I pull the transmission and see this little guy.
I also found a chunk of what appears to be a piece of one of the 4 Spyder diff gears. So it looks like a diff gear let lose and shot out. Splendid.
I'm not a transmission guy, but what are the odds of being able to rebuild a new 4 Spyder, swap bell housings, and that's all the more damage there is?
Or do when diffs let lose they usually take out other things? Hopefully shep has the parts lying around to build me a new one. Sad thing is this one is still pretty new.
