I would change the trans fluid that you're running while you're at it.. Give AMSoil a try.

I'm surprised it was the trans that let go and not the transfer case. I'm assuming its built also?

We were surprised it wasn't the TC also. The TC is full built with a Quaife LSD.

Only a few people have had this happen apparently. Impressive to say the least but suck for the repair bill.

Anyway at launch the wheels get more then 800wtq transfered to them. Try launching on a MD and see what it tells you.

The fact that this is actually a street car with enough tq to flex a built trans I think is the scariest thing I've ever seen...
