Took the mustang out for a short drive today. I got on it a bit in second gear and shifted through 4th. Looked behind me and lots of whiteish smoke out the back and has a burning smell almost like clutch but not quite. The rear locked up for a couple seconds and now has a bad vibration I can hear and feel through the shifter. I was able to limp it home. Didn't see any leaks from the rear.
Is it possible I broke an axle or sheared off the splines? Not sure if I would still be able to move if that was the case. Or possibly broke a ring or pinion tooth? It has 3.73 gears and a newer ford racing differential according to the previous owner.
Or is the transmission toast? I kind of felt like I couldn't shift it for a sec. I know it has a leak at the tail shaft. So maybe the input shaft went and the smoke is tranny fluid??
