Tranny EXPLODED!

What a week! I have been in the garage R&R'ing and internally cleaning everything under the hood after a freak chance encounter with some standing water a few days ago. I thought I did some serious turbo and engine damage, but it didn't pan out too bad. After some advice from Jak and some others, I decided to button it up and go drive around for an hour to give her a chance to tell me how she was feeling. Carefully cruising along, I decided to give it some boost, brought up 1st gear and it lit the tires up a little and WHAM! It felt like the F*ing axles came out. I coasted in 2nd with the clutch in and it was rattling in rhythm...wap-wap-wap-rattle, wap-wap-wap-rattle. I pulled over and tried to go through the gears. The shifter shifted in and out OK, but she wouldn't move forward without an all encompasing BANG! This time the noise got a LOT louder. Pulled her over again and saw the telling puddle of tranny blood. I got it home and just shut the door behind me. I'll have to check it out in the morning, but from the sounds and the massive fluid hemoraging, I'd say it's probably terminal. :o(
