I got off the freeway this mornin' on the way to school, and lo an behold in the middle of Warren Ave. there is a tranny lying in a puddle of trans fluid. How can some one lose their trans while driving? They're bolted on there pretty tight, and if it was a front wheel drive car it prolly went through the front axle. To me it seems almost impossible for this to happen. Enlighten me cuz if I don't know I could make the same mistake.

 

it fell out of a truck

if a tranny fell.. the car would need to go OVER the tranny and clear it..

It must have fell out of a truck or something

 

It could have I only saw the trans sittin' there, not what dropped it. Even still how would a truck lose the trans like that, in other words what did the driver do to make it just fall out?

 

The next question is....where the **** did the vehicle go?

 

It was a transmission in the back of a truck, not the truck's transmission. It probably fell off a truck without the driver noticing or it was being taken to a dump so they didn't care and left it there. Probably still had some transmission fluid in it that leaked out when it hit the ground.

 

still.. that must have been a funny sight to see!

 

Yeah that what probably happened.

One time I was so stumped , because I saw a truck driver picking a motor off of the road I was thinkin "how the hell didi that fall out" then I thought hard and figured it probably fell out of the back of the truck.

 

7am, middle of Detroit makes me feel its unlikely it feel out the back a truck. But hell it could have I dunno I just saw it there not how it got there.

 

maybe some new modern cars can drive without transmission? better gas mileage!
