Help trans probs need input asap

well i know most of you will more than likely say im a idiot for going this fast but i didnt notice any probs till now.

story of what happen:

was coming home from the track doing about 70, and L was on my rear so decided to put some distance between us. i floor it and everythings going good, then around 115 my speedo starts bouncing and low traction light comes on and abs light comes on and brake light comes on then i hear BOOM and my speedo drops from 115-118 where its bouncing to 0 . look back and fluid is spraying everywhere , so i pull over , get out and trans fluid is everywhere, so i call my dad and he comes and pulls me to the house. i wont be able to mess with it till after work today to even see what it is but i was hoping some of you may can give insight to what yall think it is to help save time and get her fixed asap, its saturday so shops are closed but the sooner i figure out whats wrong the sooner i can order parts and fix it.

you have an external trans cooler ? sounds like a line may have come loose or popped off

found the problem.... since my trans is a 4L65e would the output shaft housin off a 4l60e work or are they different?

Did the VSS blow out the side of the tailshaft?

NM, I didn't refresh before I posted. I see the pic now.

4L60e housing should work fine.

Just a thought, I think I would check my U-joints, carrier bearing, etc before I went back together it took a lot of vibs to break that tailhousing or it could have just had a flaw in it from the get go, personally never seen one break. Well I have seen one, but it was because the motor was shoved back forcing the driveshaft into the tailhousing in a car accident I had when I was young.

His truck won't have carrier bearings, but yeah I agree. Something was vibing big time to make it do that. Either that or it has a drive-shaft angle problem.

Oops didn't read is signature RCSB yell no carrier for sure. I'm guessing rearend hasn't been changed or something been altered there, heck I guess even a collasped tranny mount or a loose one that letting that tranny go everywhere could be a possiblity.

yea i've double checked everything, from what i can see and gather it was my drive shafter angle which i never got a answer on how to fix so i never bothered with it, never had a issue until i did my flipkit so im almost 100% position thats what made it break because like i posted in another thread, once you get to around 80 you could feel the bad vibrations. i'll be putting factory hangers on HOPEFULLY monday if the yard i found is open and that should help the drive shaft angle some, and i ran the part number thats cast on the side and it brought up 4L60E 2WD 9 5/8" long, 6 bolt to case, 2 bolt bottom mount, 1" speed sensor hole. i also noticed under the truck it ripped the plug for the speed sensor off, do they sell those seperate like they do the pigtails for injectors?

If you are going to a yard to get hangers, just find a VSS plug there.
Did you try a wedge/shim kit to correct the angle?

yea bought 2 degree shims, they didnt work well with the kit. the metal djm uses is a POS , you try to tighten it down and it bends. the way the kit is made has a top bracket so you can adjust the pinion angle, but im not sure if i have the pinion angle right cause im not 100% sure on the proper way of measuring it. i googled it and the only thing i came up with i tried and it added up to -3 degrees, which i was told was good for heavy acceleration, by like i said once you get to about 80 you can feel alot of vibration and i never had that till i did the flipkit, before the flipkit i hit 140 a few times and NEVER had a vibration issue, it was as smooth as if going 60. so i know the drive shaft angle was the issue, but i've posted up on here and on PT and never got any actual helpful info on how to measure it and the best settings for it.

well guys Im back to this same issue again but this time I let out once the lights came on so nothing has broken yet. have even rebuilt the tranny recently, trans has 7000 miles on it so I dont see where the trans could be the issue. do you guys think it could be the rear end? Also I have redid my pinion angle 3 days ago hoping that would work but now vibrations are worse. Im extremely surprised with all the people on here with flip kits and lowered trucks that no one can advise me on how to measure my pinion angle, I know how to adjust it just not measure it to make sure Im in the -2 to -3 degrees that I need to be right now I THINK I'm around +3 which I know cant be good since its vibrating bad.
