Yesterday on the way home from work, something in my Tercel driveline broke. I was accelerating down a highway on ramp when I lost drive. No sound or indication of problem. It just felt like it slipped out of gear and the engine reved up. I tried all gears and got nothing as the car coasted down so I just pulled off to the side. I looked underneath and verified that it wasn't an axle shaft. I believe either the clutch or the gearbox input shaft, I more suspect the gearbox than the clutch. Thank goodness for AAA!
I guess I need a Paseo gearbox to handle the extra power of the Paseo engine and the stress of autocross. This is the first time I have ever broken any driveline part of any vehicle, but this is also the first vehicle that I have ever auto crossed.

I won't be able to look at it for a while, with the Holidays coming up and all, but I will post an update as soon as I figure the problem out.
