Great thread....
I always call them "peg leg" tranny's. Always joked lots of old timers who raced 727s walking around with peg legs....
If you break the rear or driveshaft you better pull the trans apart.
Everyone always says "yea but I drove it around and it shifted fine...."
I have related the story before, but the last one I saw, the guy was going to take it to the track. He had fixed a broken rear and was driving around on the street. Called and asked me what I thought. I made him take it out. Half the springs were crushed and the rollers just rattling around loose in there. The other half were holding well enough to drive the car. Would not have survived the first hit. 904. Don't know if it was a LBA VB.
Moving off the spot is not confirmation that the roller clutch is okay.
