So I removed the transmission from the car while doing this I noticed my drive line bolts were all loose not only that but I snapped off two bolts on my axle that hold the CV joint to the flange on the rear end. I guess I should thank God I did not hit anything. One good thing now when I go on a long drive I will Know everything will be tip top.

I have to ask, when is the last time you actually tech'd your car? I go through certain items before I take it out of the garage, tire pressure, oil levels, knock offs tight.......Generally go through the car once a month or once every other month, depending on my use, to make sure everything is buttoned up.
