The casing shattered into 6 pieces. The spiders were laying on the ground under the car....3 of them were. The speed sensor was in it'* own broke off piec of the trans, that I didn't realise was still in the car until we tried to get the new trans in there. That'* also when we realized there was a mount over there that we didn't know about because there was a chunk of the casing hangin off that too. LOL Really shoulda gotten pics.

Anyway....here'* a pic of the damage. Link due to size (1600x1200). For reference, this is looking at it from the front, passenger side, and the oil filter is in the upper left corner of the pic, trans pan on the right.
