The way i see it everyone needs some help now and then.
Thank God no one was hurt ,and as I told you on the phone, metal is fixable,skin not always so much
Besides,i'd just be spending it on a car part anyhow,lol!
And dont ever give up,these trials make it worth even more in the end even if it doesnt seem so now
If it were easy everyone would be doing it

Thank you guys. While this is incredibly awkward for me, my gratitude is sincere.

Don't you dare sell the Chevelle over this. Ask Kwhizz about getting a car right!

There's more damage on the driver's side but I didn't feel like crawling under the car again.

It even blew the shifter apart.

Aside from the damage to the car, the part that sickens me most is that this trans was one built for me by a friend who's since passed away.

Once I find the motivation to pull the remnants from the car, I'll get the box apart and see if anything can be salvaged. Thankfully I have a friend who's handy with Muncies.

Eric, so sorry to see this.

Is there any recourse with the drive shaft company? It seems to me like it was never right...

Whew, buddy. I feel for you. The Muncie aside, it could have been a lot worse.

Eric, I don't know you personally, however from what I've read here you are a stand-up guy, so I don't feel the least bit uncomfortable with this. I have a rebuilt M20 sitting in the shop here. I bought it from Sammy here on the site a few years ago as a spare. I will loan this trans to you for as long as you need it. If I were a rich man, I'd just give it to you, but alas, I aint. If you want it, I will get it to you.

Dan;

More than doubtful. It was built ~8 years ago, and despite the fact that it doesn't even have 100 miles on it, I'm sure they wouldn't stand behind it.

Tony N.;

Agreed, and I am grateful no one got hurt.

Tony W.;

That is insanely generous and I am very grateful for your offer, but I wouldn't want to take the chance that something might happen to it while in my possession. That aside, I'm not even sure if I'm going back to a Muncie based trans at this point.
