Update on the axle thing:
after taking out my header, intermediate shaft etc, it was deemed impossible to knock out so we dropped the transmission knocked it out in like 2 hits as opposed to me under the car for an hour trying to hit it out. Ill post pics of the axle piece from my tranny. I think the snap was due to (what JIM described as) metal fatigue, only 1/3 of the axle seemed to be ripped off the other half was a clean cut. Tranny went back in yesterday in the pouring rain...it sucked. still need to get replacement axles and tranny fluid.

I hate dealing with axles. There needs to be snap resistant axles made, I don't know how but that would be awesome. Haha

Good look getting it fixed man

it shall be done soon, i just need to pull my injectors and send them out. Im doing autozone axles for now, i have to talk to a guy about getting a discount at NAPA for their axles, ive herd from many people they are stronger. Drive Shaft Shop makes excelent axles which are very very very strong and rated up to 1000+ HP but the level axles i would be using are a little out of my budget right now.

Raceline recommends OEM axles over Driveshaft Shop.
