diff pin grenaded in tranmission and locked up and took engine with it, cruising in 5th on the highway, 89 problems , 90+ uses different diff and went from cable to rod shifter, buying a beater altima tomorrow and then putting another engine/trans in the sho

Its a 5 speed lol... and yes a quick use of google will tell you SHO grenade stock diffs
 
Trans grenaded and locked engine down with it at highway speeds in gear, ill drop the subframe and take carnage pics soon
 
There are just so many other points of failure, it surprises me the clutch didn't just slip like a mofo, or your input shaft didn't just sheer splines or your transmission didn't just abort itself.
 
come to find out I only slung a rod through the block and cracked the bell-housing , soo the differential did not grenade soo im taking my gear set out and throwing them in a different case with the good aftermarket differential and HOPEFULLY it will work lol now to just find a engine, hoping to scoop up a 3.2 out of a automatic car
 
idk what happened, still moving forward with plans and making a cheap thrills spare daily

Meh if it was a 90/91 dash id take it out but this one has no airbags or anything im going to leave it, only interior is front door panels, center console and corbeau seats, got a lead on a cammed 3.0 in SC for $700
 
just waiting on my seat rails to come in for the Corbeaus , still stuff to remove and give a good cleaning

and lol might be going to Illinois to buy this turdbox for $400 as a good parts car for the long block and spare 5 speed trans , and then scrap it after I take what I want and get my money back

I also think before I put the next engine in im obv going to do rod bearings and timing belt/water pump and whatever misc gaskets/seals needed but I do believe im going to take the time to clean up the engine bay and paint up the engine all nice and what not - gay oil cap
