Allison 6sp: Trans carnage!!!!!!

[DBUSHLB7]

I had to get these pics up so y'all could see some strange breakage
The kid who previously owned this truck told us little about the events that led up to this damage. Upon inspection in person, Josh H and I were shocked and both agreed neither of us have seen anything like this. Feel free to speculate what y'all think may have happened here.

Worn crossmember/trans mount would be my first guess but damn! What was he doing when this happened?

He said he came out of a store, heard a loud crack while exiting the parking lot, stopped and saw a crack in the bell housing. Called for a tow and the rest of the cracking and carnage happened in tow transit. We are currently looking for a good used 6 speed to throw in or just have Josh build this one and replace the bell housing. I'm really curious to know wether the internals are compromised or not. Lot of built transmissions out there with hard parts from cores that were involved in wrecks n such.

I'd like to know what kind of abuse the truck has seen. Find me one of these wrecked/built transmissions lol

That ain't going to buff out :roflmao:

Maybe he highcentered it on the trans pan or cross member. I would think the weight of the truck could easily do that...

Certainly a possibility. Although the pan didnt look scratched up at all. I kinda thought the kid might have been jumping the truck somehow.

This is how we felt when we looked under the truck for the first time:roflmao:

I fixed a 03 that broke the rear cover in three places by putting it in 4 low in a bad bind with a broken trans mount

I have seen u joint failures cause housings to crack.

 

[DBUSHLB7]

Rear adapters seem to break frequently. I've never seen a bellhousing crack almost all the way around like this. The good news is, like Devin mentioned, we bought the truck cheap enough to cover these repairs....assuming the motor is fine and ill get pics of the truck up here in a bit.

 

[DBUSHLB7]

Here's some pics for you guys. Ranch hand bumper and grille guard are up for grabs people, possibly the Hummer wheels as well.

How is the rear engine plate ? I had a bad u joint on the dyno that caused almost the same damage to mine.

It seems to have survived the damage. I'm not sure if the flexplate did or not..... Couldn't see enough of it.
