Who's tC is this in Chicagoland?

Yesterday, I visited the dealership for an appointment I had for interior rattles. I waited a long time for the repair to be done. The service assistant gave me the privilege to hang around the shop and watch the tech work on my car while I waited for 5 hours. I saw another tC in the shop hoisted on the rack with a hole in the transmission housing. I just had to take these pics with my phone. It looks like the final gears exploded out the trans. I don't remember if it was a manual or auto. Sorry for big pics. Check it out.

 

WOW!

thats intense!

the stickers on there must have added 500 horses....so you know how that goes :D

 

I could say more of what I saw pertaining to those decals, but I'll shut my mouth.

 

..

 

but the really sad thing is how much the dealer is charging to fix it

good lord i wouldnt even want to know.... the dealership here tried to charge me 900 bucks for a spring install

 

I see a stock exhaust manifold and s-pipe, CAI, angled exhaust... so do tell, what are the stickers for?

 

wow. What the hell could have caused that? Think if he backed up and then shifted to F to be cool could have caused that? Judging by the pipes, it doesn't look like he's got anything major under the hood. Some weird shh.

 

Does anyone know how this can happen with a completely stock set up (minus the coffee can exhaust muffler)?

 

Well if this owner is a member on here and he fess's up to it, he or she will tell you.

 

I'm guessing a neutral drop at 5k+... BLAMMO!

 

I was thinking maybe the owner was spinning their tires on a patch of ice and then tires eventually caught pavement at 6K rpm. Something is bound to break in the driveline, but I would of never thought it would be in the trans. Usually, the drive axles are the weakest part in the driveline. Thought they would of busted first.

 

wow thats crazy...I know they weren't driving nice when that happened.

 

What were they on??

 

Just because no one else has said it yet I am going to blame this all on the stock tires. They have way too much grip and tear the transmission to pieces at the slightest thought of WOT. lol

 

wow thats crazy! what part of chicago are you from?

 

& that and what dealership did u go to?

 

I'm willing to bet he ran over something.

 

^^ yeah , it is aluminum...he may have kicked something up and shattered it..

 

Knowing the dealership isn't important. It's the product that failed which is of concern.
