2000 ford focus transmission

Transmission blew violently, spewing parts all over the road.
Yes, it had over 100K, but this seems really dangerous.
Just wanted to post this. thanks

Were you 'Rawhide'n' her Mike?
Was this a manual or automatic? They sell Kevlar blankets at speed shops to protect from this sorta thing.

Automatic Transmission. My daughter was driving...I wasn't there; just saw all the parts all over the place.

BTW, I would never have bought this. It had the suspension problems mentioned in this forum, also. More scrap metal to be turned into a Hyundai!

A trip to a scrapyard is probably in order. If you want a rebuilt you will need a good core. Otherwise buy a good used one.
