    anyone ever heard of this happening?

    i'm fully confident, that the tranny was responsable for cracked carrier. that tranny shifted violently, i would brace myself when shift coming. it would startle passengers. they would ask, did you just hit something? id say yup, 2nd gear.

    Lot of oil leaking from bellhousing area

    its a no brainer, stick your finger in it and smell it, if its tranny fluid, front seal gone, or dipstick tube leaking. if motor oil, then rear main, or oil filter leaking. if filter or tube, easy fix. if other your screwed.
