Got into just a little wheelhop, stabbing it in 2nd gear from about a 2,500 rpm roll, and something literally sounded like it exploded in the transmission. I mean, it barely hopped, like 3 times, and in 2nd gear no less...
The output shaft is intact, and the car will move a little back and forth, but then the trans locks so hard it will chirp the tires. I gave it some gas and forced it off the road so I didn't get hit by a car.. It did move but bucked and grinded the whole 50 ft I moved it, chirping the tires every so often.
All this powershifting at the track earlier this summer, and wheel hop on drag radials finally caught up to me. Honestly, I think drag radials are no good for 5 speeds. Need something with a softer wall.
Its not the rear diff, because it will coast smoothly in neutral.
I have a '95 M5R2 just waiting to be rebuilt, and also just picked up a good '93 M5R2 at the junkyard yesterday for $100. Ironically, I was on my way to help my friend pull the motor out of a junkyard SC. So we just yanked the engine and trans and they gave us a deal.
Any guesses on what broke?
