well it wasnt reallly just rust... hehe
In may or june or something I was at a stop sign, peeled out in a left turn, into boost, but It was gravel in the road, so traction control pulled timing, cut injector pulse width, but car has boost too... boost bypass was accidently unplugged during this time so car couldnt dump boost and sway bar had broken link so there was more severe angle for something like an OEM cv axle of 226k miles accelerating, traction control, severe angle, left turn(driver cv shown) and during all this fun stuff, I was of course WOT because I thats how I drive and there was traffic to beat
Loud bang and car shudders a wee bit, we keep driving since it was on a highway now only had a short distance till turn off again. Turn off, Car has accelerating issues but it was electronic not cv.
Decide gonna baby it home since I had all forward gears it seemed, had scan tool to monitor trans temps. I was driving for a little bit again, and there was something else that happened before. The shifter cable got yanked /bound up a bit and was out of adjustment or something, so when I put it into gear by feel like I normally do, i didnt notice that it was saying I was in "2" on the cluster despite the detents had me at D. When driving about 60 steady I saw Oh damn Im in 2, shifted upward 2 detents and thats when the money happened
Car slammed into reverse at 60.. that was about 20 feet of burnt rubber whew but that was a loud BAM
Baby car still to home it was working somehow
oh and i forgot to mention that I also had an overfilled trans because of the thermostatic element was causing the side cover to be misregulated while running, so the dipstick appeared low because the trans was filling the side cover too full from the pan.
And we had some pan gifts:

that yellow rags contents were wiped from the pan to the left. I also did a trans fluid change less than 1k miles before the RIP moments. So not attributable to clutch mud... rip
The pipes on the left are all bent/no longer sealed in the accumulators(shifts were weird, the fluid pressure was bleeding off in the pan), and the differential lube pipe had a hose clamp/hose fail and it was also doing that, you can see the barb is visible which means it wasnt a sealed lube path eithere.
I cant be sure but I also have a missing flexplate weight but it may have somehow broke off the flexplate(?) in the past or that day.
I dont have a good photo of how the CV axle mates the wheel bearing but they dont use a seal for that platform, it just metal on metal interface that fills the recesss with the cone of the cv axle and then you torque the nut and indent it so it cant back off
Im gonna guess the breaking of the splines is 60 to 0 while still yanking forward from the 4000 pound barge continuing its path as newton intended
CV axle had a lot of play on its joints, the grease was black and smelled burnt itself it was weird, the splines on the axle were worn around, I almost wonder if it didnt jump the splines and the nut was enough force to keep it from doing that until that unrelenting force situation maybe?
Oh, and initially I had no park or neutral, all gears except reverse were forward gears and reverse was a smelly neutral
After sitting for a month or so, the park and neutral came back to normal but reverse doesnt move
