OK, WTF!?

The only thing I can think is that the already bad throwout bearing got demolished on the pressure plate. Is it possible that a throwout bearing shreading to peices could punch a hole in the bell? There is oil everywhere, and the tranny was fine until I put the Stage 3 in..

Another possibility is I put too much oil in it maybe? I didn't think "too much" was a problem. I filled it until it started coming out of the hole. COuld that have been it?

Stupid L3!!!

Semnos

Could be. You have to fill it to just below the hole.

RENR

maybe its too much boost!!

Ouch, my guess one of the forks broke and punctured the case, lol..

I sold a SI tranny to dustin, and he did the same thing, put some ACT clutch in, and the thing gernaded.

But I've had my share of blown L3's

does the trani still move your car?

TurboEF9

Ya.. it still drives fine.. until I am going, and ride the tranny when I let off the gas. It starts making a very loud clicking sound. and I can feel grinding in my clutch pedal.

man get off the road. u have broken something inside and its rattling around.

its gonna get caught in the diff and away she goes, tow truck time.

my hf tranny did that like 3 years ago... it ended up being that the shaft that the throw out bearing rides on cracked.

rip it appart and check it out.

yeah mine did that and my spider gears fell out hit the diff and put a hole in the side.

needless to say that was a big clunk!
