Trans housing breaking

[Dirt Knife]

Put in urithane motor mounts and your problem will go away.

I have solid motor mounts and no trans mounts. Seen too many problems with trans mounts.

I saw this happen to a guy at my track. His problem was the driveshaft was too short. During the normal suspension travel it would pull out too far and get into a bind that didn't allow it to go back in.

Put it up on jackstands and see how much it pulls out.
