Well, my luck continues and here's my new major breakdown. I was pulling out of a car wash and made a right-hand turn and it slipped a little bit .. I was not on it at all .. but it "slapped" when it regained traction  and I think it took out the casing or ripped out the shaft .. not sure which but there is transmission oil satans black smelly urine all the way down the block and it makes a really neat noise when you try to drive it.

Pictures will be later I hate posting pictures on this forum by my phone

ok its later.  just the oil mess a I am not working on this myself..

Sorry brother.  Look at the bright side.  You can build a bullet proof  tranny now.

Lol, I wish. I am not that mechanically inclined and they really don't make much in terms of aftermarket parts for the transmission for my 2010.

OMFG .. THE SMELL .. WTH???  Seriously do they take urine and feces from demons, dead cats, meth and  cram them into these units?

this is the most awful thing I've ever smelled and I've taken apart a supercharger when I was dumb..

Neat side note, as long as I drove straight I was able to safely get off the side of the road using the power of the rears to propel the vehicle...

How often do you have it flushed?  I do mine every 30k because my 2010 TC went bad at 112k.  It might be the PTU fluid also.

2010 has no plug that I can access, and the dealership refused to change the lifetime fluid.

That's because they wanted to install your new tranny.

I think the ptu failed tbh.  Has happened to another sho owner recently, goes by CHOPPA on shoforum. 

At least the acle didnt pop out at speed :P. Hope warranty covers the work.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Agreed with SHOdded ^^^ The PTU Fluid alone will smell for miles.  Z
