Guess, what did I break?
I was autocrossing my sons project 944, I blew a shift badly. I go into the braking zone touching redline 4th gear, after braking you need to be in 2nd. I was having a hard time smoothly transitioning from 4-3-2 so I decided to go from 4 directly to 2 and just stay on the brakes to settle the car and then go to 2, well my brain let the clutch out early. I left a skid mark in the turn. The car was down a touch on power then 4 corners later when you are completely off the gas the car stalled. When I try to start the car the starter is not engaging the ring gear, the starter just spins. I bet I broke the crank...Whats your guess?
Unfortunately for my son the car gets moved to storage as I have other 'car' projects to finish before I look at it. So it will be a while before I know whats broke. But its going to haunt me all winter.
