Driving home from work today im crusing and all of a sudden i hear a loud ass bang, (sounded like i hit a speed bump at 50 mph) anyways my power died and i had to coast to some parking lot. i looked in the engine and checked the oil hoping the engine didnt seize and it was fine... so i was like maybe i hit something? well I start her up and her purring nicely... i put her in gear and all of a sudden i hear a mechanical noise im lke wtf... i shut her off and andlook under my car... my tranmission exploded... my gears were all over the ROAD!!! fluid was rushing all over the parking lot. well it seems that i broke down infront of a school... a day care.. well some lady came out asking if i was a pervert and why was sitting in my car for so long i told that punk i was waiting for a tow truck.
I wait for a flatbed and get it towed to my base.. i put it on the lift and jack it all he way up.. half of my tranny is missing and my drive axle is sticking out!!!
I have no car that works and i need a tranny...
Some one help me find a cheap tranny around Savannah GA or a good price new tranny...
Im pretty screwed

Bummer dude!
Are you thinking of swapping it out yourself with a used 1, say from the junyard or used import from Japan?
Is it an AT or MT, FWD or AWD.

I have FWD im not sure im prety desperate

AT or MT? Here is a link to the AT DSM club, you might get some clues there, even if you have MT, the forum members seem to be east coasters, also check out their links page.

Another tip, do an online google search to find a tranny shop in your area.
I'm guessing you have an auto hobby shop at the base where you could theoretically do the work yourself, check out this link-

I have a 5 speed tranny with transfer case (it's removed though cuz i did a jdm engine and tranny swap) I'm in charleston s.c. 300 and it's yours, i could possibly meet you half way also.

if that tranny worked on my engine i would be all for it!! but you have an awd i dont think that will work on my FWD if it did id get it in a heartbeat
