Snapped my first axle.

So I go to the weekly car meet tonight.
Last weekend in germany, I'm going to make a lot of noise..

So I decide I want to spin the wheels.
Rev to 6 grand in first, drop the clutch. I feel the car jerk. Nothing happens.

Car won't move under it's own power.

jack the car up, sure enough, axle snapped. grease is everywhere.

FML

I'm supposed to ship the car back to the United States on Wednesday.. To a parts yard I go!!

KY Stg3 clutch is working LOL

TVS is working! LOL

I'll put up pictures tomorrow.

I thought it was the transmission at first, it spewed grease on the ground and I thought it was transmission fluid, just grease.

Yes since some ppl give up and part out. I don't really mean it but makes me laugh when I call dibs even when whatever broke is not serious..
