1st run - launch control failed to turn off, was hitting rev limiter @ 3000 before I manually shut it off
2nd run - crunched second
3rd run - seemed to go ok, 14.991 with a terminal speed of 161kph.
4th run - N/A gearbox cracked/split...dropping royal purple everywhere (mind you it looked as fresh as the day it went in... a year ago :)
At first glances, cracked gearbox casing up the driver side. Cracked enough so that the axle seal will just pop out.
Will inspect under the gearbox soon.
Why?
- setup to stiff e.g. engine mount, suspension etc
- transmission shock
* something my friend said: well technically straightcut gearset can help... the factory helical cuts make the shafts pop through the casing but i'm still surprised that it has happened on a fwd, so not sure that this is the case here if its cracked around the axle seals?
Fix?

- TIG Welder - Pot Metal Repair or Alu Weld
- New gearbox
