After a fun day at Grant that ended with a lout snap, I finally got the motivation to tear apart the old Honda and see what I actually broke. Turns out it wasn't a u-joint like I thought it was, rather an output shaft. Talk about a clean break, I had to look twice at it. O well, I will spend about an hour or two next weekend removing the back plate on the tranny so I can get the bearings off that are preventing the rest of the shaft from comming out.

All in all, it's not a huge issue, just a pain to get to. the tranny is fine and still shifts great. The shaft broke outside of the tranny. Poor old Honda, it can handle gallons of water down the intake but can't handle a few seconds of wheel hop.

I just didn't want mark saying I blew up the tranny. Fortunatley it wasn't the tranny. The shaft broke a few inches outside of it so I'm in the clear somewhat.

I havent seen the output shafts break that often, usually its the u joint.... At least your tranny is good.

I've already talked to about 5 people that have had this happen. Appearently, Honda knew this shaft was weak so they went ahead and produced a beefier, stronger shaft but never put a recall on the part. You have to wait till' it breaks to get the good one. Sucks.
