broken axle
 

what happens to your tranny when you break an axle?

i had a ball joint break on me and when the wheel swung out it tore the axle in half just wondering what kind of repair cost im looking at...

so u need new axle and ball joint installed?

axles run around $80 with core exchange, donno about ball joints

yeah but just curious if when the axle broke would the tranny have gotten damaged?? from the free spinning?

might have but you woul dhave to find out

That happened to my dad's old 89 accord.

going like 120km/hr.. front passenger wheel joint snapped and shaft ripped out of the tranny.

The differential was mangled. tranny had to be replaced.

thats what im worried about maybe i got lucky cause i was pulling into a gas station at the time..

Yeah I think it should be ok then.. Big difference between our situations.

My buddy had that happen to his del sol and all he had to replace on the tranny were some seals
