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 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?

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.

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.
