being that you still had full engagement of reverse i bet the forward band broke on it. 1st and R are the same gear just uses a different band to engage them. im pretty sure no hard parts were damage just a fault band that let go.

Now I can say I've blown a trans and an engine.On that note, I feel for ya. My engine blew 2 wks. ago and I'm going to 6.0.

I've been reading trans threads and I'm skeerd to admit that I should go Stage 5 on my FLT. Just not prepared for the cost.

Try being 1200 miles from home and breaking your trany at the track!! Sounds like you snapped the out put shaft. Just one of those things...
