It can be fixed by simply replacing the differential cover, I think without replacing the whole trani but now would be a good time for a total rebuild. Hope you have $2,500 saved up.

And yes, it is highly likely it'* from abuse. One-wheel burnouts are the primary cause of this. The other cause is modding for alot more power, even without one-wheel burnouts.

While quite likely the trans is fubared, I still say the first thing to do is drop the pan and check the magnet; then pull the filter, crack it open, and check its contents.

I had this happen to me a while back too. I admittingly did love the burnouts though. I cracked the same place with thesame internal damage roughly. First time, it was $2200 at the tranny shop (internal tranny gears), second time (dif like above), it was a $400 junkyeard tranny and a friend of a freind to put it in for a coupe hundred more. The last time lasted the longest .
I actually have the old one sitting around in the garage yet. I may need to tear into it this summer to see excatly what it did internally.

I havent looked at the pan/filter yet, I will asap..
I just want to add that he did drive the car up here [About 1/4 mile]
The car was pulling to one side, I think only one tire is getig power. so the gears are fucked, but the trany still works. [We drove it up the ramps]
The filter and fluid was changed b4 i sold the car to him,[about a year ago] It all looked good then, and it was a old!!! filter/fluid
I dont know how much he beat the car in a year , But it was a good car.

If anyone knows weather a 4t65e'* diff and cover would be compatible, I may have one available from a 99' GP GT if you are interested.
