nope and no it was performing normal up til the break, actually it was feeling great, i launch at about 2500 on course, but on the road I don't do too many launches and never dragged it. Thing didn't make a damn noise when mine went and didn't make any noise after that either. It was strange, I was doing a scca event and was on like my 20 somethings run. I don't know if you have ever been in the parking lot that used to be Atl Fulton Co Stadium, but it is a popular one of rus to autox and there is the brick section where the old in-field used to be, there is a hump in that and I went over it full throttle the car unloaded then once it settled back the car just screamed, me and the other guy both just looked down at the shifter first cause it sounded like it just came out of gear, threw it into nuetral and back into second, same problem, it was right before the finnish luckily and i still had plenty of momentum, sad part was i wasn't even driving, i was letting BigB drive it to feel the difference with the cutout open when it happened. But it woulda broken no matter what eventually because i do drive my car and at least once a month it is driven pretty hard be it on course or doing mountain runs. i am not saying i baby the car the rest of the time but I wouldn't say i abuse it either. I just think that once you get to a certain level of modification it really takes a toll on th ediff in these. i still love the car to death and can't wait to put that tranny back in, hopefully this weekend or early next week. you wouldn't happen to have an extra main tranny shaft bearing would you?
