Hairline fracture from bottom to top,3rd one, Factory,new replacement, and now this used one, havn't heard of anyone else having this problem, kinda at a crossroad on what to do, replace it, along with all new driveshaft,motor and tranny mounts and hope it holds up or fix and sell, I sure dont want to git rid of this car but i've owned it a yr and only been able to drive it about 5 months .

That happened at 70mph cruising home last friday. The tailshaft broke, tranny split,driveshaft broke. The dealer is looking into what caused it. They repaired my tranny 2 times in the last 3 months, and their trying to prove wether or not their liable. They said if anything inside the tranny was the cause they will cover everthing, if not im going to be out alot of money.As far as banging gears or track use, no not really. I havent had the car at the track in over 8 months. After the last time they "repaired" my tranny it leaked from day one.
