    VR6 Gearbox Abuse

    A few pics of Tigars Gearbox after he blew the diff.
    "I wasn`t doing a burnout, honest mum"







    This last pic is my favorite, you can see where gears came through the case, hit the clutch and went out through the bottom

    The gearbox in my 16V Mk2 Golf did something similar to that and I was just cruising down the highway in 5th gear at 105kph. It looked pretty spectacular in the rear view mirror. Smoke, bits of metal and cars rapidlly changing lanes to miss it all.
