Drag strip: Broke something.....

I ran my Turbo R at the track on 7PSI.

My tire choice was BFGoodrich 205-50-15 Drag Radials. I used 14PSI in both of them. I launched at 7K because I didnt want to bog. Well, when I launched, something gave way.

Half way down the track, the entire started to vibrate. I drove it home in 5th gear cruising, and all of the sudden I lost ALL transmission force.

I can literally push each gear in without pushing the clutch in. Clutch still feels solid for it is nearly brand new.

I havent taken it apart yet but does this sound like an axle?

Check the axles first, then check the LSD.

Good luck. :)

Hrmmm... My guess would also be axles, unless you stipped an input shaft or something like that..

Best of luck and get back to us with the damage report.
