C5 6sp Transmission woes....................
Transmission Go Boom!~!!
Cruising to my sisters Christmas day rolling about 65 in 5th with the cruse engaged on US 63 in NE Missouri,started up a slight grade and BANG!~!!
No more 5th and 6th,It was so loud that I was looking in the rear view for parts hitting the pavement!
NOT GOOD.............I think the Bull Gear Jumped the Heifer Gear!~!!
Nothing that a new output shaft,5-6 driven gear,5-6 drive gears,5-6 synchronizer,reverse gear,rev synchronizer, a few bearings and c clips wont fix!~!!

Amazing how such a small piece which is not exactly in the correct position can cause major catastrophic failure many years and miles down the road!
Good luck with your repair!
