Wow, no kidding? Actually I've witnessed this personally when a friend exploded the trans, diff and pretzeled the driveshaft of his old Chevy Caprice back in '77. Wasn't pretty.

Regarding the warranty replacement of my 8505t's trans, the service writeup, about 400 miles before the replacement was that the car "wouldn't pull." It was towed in, flushed, and without going back to the link of the service history I've posted, I think the PNP switch replaced also. 400 miles later it was toast.

I spent an hour in the dealership's service dept. waiting room reading my car's history. Nice of them to let me go through it.
