Well I sure am glad I bought that 700r4, driveshaft, and shift from my buddy John. Some of you guys may recall that I snapped my driveshaft in half, which made a mess out of my floor boards. Well I tried to start the car a couple times, and ended up hearing metal to metal sounds that did not sound too good. So I get my dad out to give me his two cents. He looks down and tells me "It's something with your starter, O wait your transmissions bellhousing is snapped in half". Sure enough there is a massive fracture and I'm sure the transmission is in half probably. I'm sure my flywheel is geeked to after all that. I figure the half of the driveshaft that was still attached hit the road and shoved the tail of the transmission upward thus snapping the bellhousing in half. Man when it rains it pours.
 
Damn dude, you're not having good luck lately... :roll: Things can only get better from here right!
 
Should have got a 200 4r, wouldn't have happened then :blam:
 
I know exactly how your feeling.... had a very similar problem with drastically worse results. That sucks, hopefully the engine is still ok, and your just dealing with a driveshaft and transmission, not the flywheel, engine block and converter too.
