Yesterday, I thought the auto transmission died. When putting into reverse,or drive, the tranny sounded horrible. Luckily I found out today its not the tranny but the whole drivetrain from the output shaft of the tranny to the wheels all needs to be replaced. Splines are destroyed among other damage. Car has 126K miles. The only prewarning I had was in the am when putting car into reverse out of my driveway I heard a small delayed clunk. When failure ocurred I literally had just got off the phone with a mechanic scheduling a look at the tranny. (i thought it was a transmission mount gone bad) This year i have spent over $1400 bucks on this car and I suppose I will put at least another 1500 into now.
Anyone have this happen to them? What type of pricing can i expect. Luckily the mechanic is a relative and I was under the car today examing the destruction. We could not find any aftermarket parts availble so it looks like expensive OEM parts for this job.
