Damaged trans?

I did the same thing. Totally wiped out the front U joint. I didn't think much
of it at the time. But I did put a big long crack in the tail housing. Had another
driveshaft that I put in and drove it. I had a vibration. It made the crack
even worse. Started leakin all over the place. Took it out to find the housing
bad and then took the trans apart. was told to check the rear over run
springs and bearings. You can colapse the springs and cause more damage.
Mine were ok. Don't chance it.
I did have to spend over a $100.00 to get the tail housing welded. It is the
one with the bracket on it for the floor shifter.
Take your time and do it right the first time. Good luck. Keep us posted
on what you find.
