Good and Bad Road trip(long)

[jdbubb at verizon.net (Dan Bubb)]

I think that Brett was extremely lucky to make it to Cincy after loosing 5th 
with 200 miles to go, and even so his pinion gear had enough damage that I 
wouldn't reuse it.
The busted parts generally migrate down in the transmission and get caught 
in the ring and pinion and that's pretty much it.
There might be some useable parts left but I doubt a 5th gear and fluid 
change is going to do it.
