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...

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.
