Scary stuff. Did you check to see if the transaxle had gear oil in it? Most shops deliver them empty...

MAN! totaly nasty!
I know how you must of felt... when i first got my bug back on the road i was rolling through some tight uphill twisties one morning (it was bellow freezing) and i managed to do a 180 deg rotation 5 friggin feet from a 60 foot cliff (with no road baracade btw). i was lucky NOT to go off the road and only into the other oncoming lane. I was not TOTALY sure what it was but i do think it was my leaky gas cap i had at the time... becuase once i got to my destination my whole right hand side of the car (The spin was a left hand turn to btw) was soaked in fuel. so i think i may have gotten fuel on the tire.

So really, its SUPER important to TEST TEST TEST before you subject yourself to any critical situations.

Hope you figure it out... sounds kinda odd

Wow, that is really intense. It is nice to test things beforehand. That was why I drove to my in-law's on Saturday (70 miles each way) before going to BugOut on Sunday even though I could have traveled with the family and going Sunday wasn't a certainty. Nevertheless, one can't always test first.

I'm glad everything turned out okay (unintentional pun left in).
