How did this even happen? Be honest

[TimKninja]

How did you know it even broke?

[RUFFLZ]

ho shit you were yoloing tho huh?

[acolella76]

Do you have the part that broke off? What I would do, as ghetto as it may sound, is drill and tap a hole into both sides, and thread a set screw or something into one side and screw the other side on. With a bit of red loctite it should stay.

I never beat my car until I do, something always breaks.
Had three people in my car and some luggage in the trunk...pretty good tires...2.79 diff...grade 8.8 bolts on the guibo...decided to peel off from a dead stop really quick, before I even got anywhere my driveshaft broke loose, heard a bunch of bolts flying on the ground, followed by the output shaft piece.
Good thing I only lived once that day

I hope I can find the part that broke off...........

Usually when parts break on my car I replace them..... might just be me though..

Yup, I'm running an M44 Trans (aka G240) that came from a really low mileage 318ti so its fucking perfect and amazing. Except its like kind of broken now lol

[FunfGan]

Oh. Well then, In all seriousness I have an m42 one w/ ~150k miles on it if your current one feels seriously screwed.

Kind of perfect and amazing.. except for the broken pilot shaft lol

So now is a good time to upgrade to a g260. A real mans transmission.

Yup haha. I think I'm going to bolt it up and see what happens. This is my theory:

My trans brace isn't made too well (swap car), so the trans is tilted about three degrees to the right. The output shaft was broken this entire time but only now when my bolts failed did the shaft fall out and meet its demise.
