Thanks Chris. My guess is output shaft or input shaft, one of those. No loss of fluid but lots of cluncky when I roll it. Dropped it off this morning at the The Vette Doctors.

Should have it opened up soon.

Run 'em long enough and stuff breaks. I always seem to find the weak link when going rounds.

On another note -- the footage from yesterday is awesome. Well done.

One of these days, I'm going to make it to E-Town to race with you guys.

Thanks.

I was struggling with holding it steady as I normally wear contacts and I was wearing my glasses and could not get a good view with the glasses on the eye cup. I need to get a bigger eye cup

That sucks Edgar. Hope the Doctors get you "hooked" up again, quickly.

Did the doctors finish their diagnosis yet? If so what was it, rear gears or one the shafts?
