Hope theres no other damage. Sounds like that problem would cause those things to happen. I know I'd be freaking out if that happened, all at the same time, while driving

Good Luck with the mend

at least you took it to the right place. OC Corvette is an excellent shop. I just had some work done there, and Sean is a straight shooter. Good luck

Before I finished reading your post, I knew what you were going to say. The same happened to me about 4 years ago! Luckily, I was only driving about 20 mph, but I'll never forget that sound. Mine actually went BACK towards the engine and did some extensive damage, even at that low speed. When most let go, they go forward, so not as much damage. Hopefully this is your case.

Now for the bad news. It cost about $3K to get it fixed! Luckily I was under warranty so it only cost me the 50 bucks deductible.

The good news is I haven't had a lick of problem since (knock on wood). I hope your's isn't quite as severe as mine was.
