i would agree that an impact could shove the yoke into the trans enough to cause damage, but i tend to think the U joints would give first. i say find you another trans , throw it there, have a driveline service shop inspect, spin balance and check your shaft, install new U joints and you would be good to go. a jolt could have screwed up your linkage ... are you sure you just didnt dump all your fluid out from the rear seal? im assuming this is a 904

Heh, wish I could afford to find another tranny AND have the money to have it installed. Realistically man, I can't even afford to buy a $200 laptop so even though I'm sure replacing the tranny on this car is cake when you've got a lift and the right tools, it's a no can do out here in Vegas. My wife and I are struggling as it is to keep our head above the water financially out here as it is.

Definately. But - because you drove it away, and you drove it (partially) on the trip, they will say it wasn't from the accident. In any event, prepare to get an offer for scrap value and they'll total it. Which with what you are talking about, might be the best thing for you.
BTW - I have been living with 2 bulging discs for 13 years now. 6 of those as a commercial mover. With care and always rembering it's there, it's not abig deal.

Added to the fact it happened on February 24th and we're in April now as well...Eep...That's what I'm worried about...But I've been playing phone tag with the damned insurance company to have them send an adjuster out here to look at the car as it is. My brother in law scrapped his '74 for $175. God I hope I get double for this car. And yeah I've been taking it easy here at work and been going to physical therapy so compared to how awful I felt back on February 24th to now is literally night and day.
