Munched transaxle from Drag Day

Well I pulled the engine and transaxle yesterday and found all the broken stuff. I had a failure on both sides of the diff. The Left inner CV exploded and the Right output shaft sheared at the CV flange.
As Jake would say,,,,,,,SWEET.

It sounds like it's time for the 5-speed.

I launched it at the drag strip,,,,,, well I tried to launch it.
The 5 speed will have to wait till winter, I need to get it back together for mid Aprill so I can go to Bug-A-Pulozza.
