3) How long had the MTL been in the tranny, before the failure?

4) Did the person change the fluid on a regular basis and/or what intervals had the fluid been changed?

5) When the dif's broke, were there any differences in the breaks and in what ways were they different?






How about what kind of driving has this tranny seen? Not just with you but with the previous owners? Have you ever dragged, launched hard, etc.?

That diff is weak enough that mild abuse will break it. If mine goes, I sure wont be blaming the MTL. I dont abuse it often at all, but any can be too much for that sucker!

Heck, there is a thread in this forum right now about a brand new stock diff failing!!! I mean come on?! Fluid? How about its just a piece?
