Blown tranny?
 
I got a LS tranny that I think most likely blew up on me or something cracked like the main bearings.

I replaced both driver and passenger side axle about 4 times before the tranny gave out on me.

Here's the thing, every time I roll in first gear around 3000 rpm and floor it, as soon as I pop it into second, one of my axles will snap.

Last week, I did the same thing and now the tranny does not go into gear at all.

I can force it into gear by pushing it in hard but it just grinds the gears the whole time, car won't move in any way.

My clutch master cylinder and slave are perfectly fine, no leaks.

They aren't clogged up either, I flushed out the old and dirty fluid to fresh fluid before this even happened and it was working perfectly.

I let the car sit, after sitting for 3 days, I start it up like normal. I had some friends push it up my driveway.

I check the spot where I let my car sit for 3 days and there is I think tranny fluid everywhere. I remember that there was no leaks after swaping the axles. Also it didn't drain even a lot, maybe just one cup of tranny fluid, that's not enough to make it stop working or grinding gears because I remember at least 2 cars I worked that did that but never grinded.

Can anyone give me some more info and help me out? I'm picking up a B16 tranny this weekend but I want to know what happened to my old tranny.

Thanks for any fill in H-T! ;)

Tear it down after you take it out. Likely low fluid and abusing it are what finished it.

Yeah I will right after I slap in the new tranny.
