We took out the engine and seperated it from the transmission, put everything back. The clutch, pressure plate and everything. refilled the fluid trough the side. Started car and started fine. The axles were on right. Nothing was locked up. We put it in reverse and then it locked in reverse. We somehow got it to unlock. The again it got locked, feathered in the clutch and then the transmission case cracked..
We did not open it, we didnt drop anything in it. We did hit the side of the axle with the wheel hub to get it in. You think that may have caused it?? Do you guys think this was due to a bad transmission? any input appreciated. Car was driving fine before this.

The guy came and took out the transmission in less than an hr. Its gone.. i didnt get to open it BUT I did see the hole.. the differential.. the was cracked inside... and well it was a mess... i think it did drop the gears because we did not put anything to hold them..
