Yes it does I've had a vette in my garage at all times for over 20 years first one ever to have to go on the hook. My bud and I were messing around I jumped on it grabbed a gear and tranny let go made a metal on metal sound car had no drive coasted to side of road and called roadside assistance. Popped into my dealer today to check on my car this is what I saw. Guess I got a mon or fri tranny new one is on it's way.

It will be mechanic at dealer said it was an internal fault basically a defective transmission only 906km on car so glad it happened now rather than later thank god for warranty would have really sucked spending that kind of money on a car and then its my problem lol

Wow K-dog, that tranny is definitely chewed up bad. Good thing it happened close to home too instead of being out on a run somewhere else.
Hope you get back on the road soon.
