What he said...

I have also killed a trans by wheel hopping on the street with pos tires. It only took once and it was only for as long as it took me to push in the clutch once i felt it start. It tore the final drive gear splines right off the shaft.

cause when the tranny case is cracked where the bolt goes and like it makes a slight clunking noise. I meant nothing internally like all the little ****.
