its where you rev your engine up high in neutral and drop it into D, 2, or 1

Busted tailhousings like that aren't all that common but they're not unheard of.

The reasons for the breakage vary, often its some misalignment in the driveline that exerts a constant side load or vibration on the housing; in this case the vibration was the broken housing.

Welding is out of the question, replacement is the only fix and while the housing is off check the output shaft for straightness.

Holy crap!

  That really does not look good.

[71440charger]

well i pulled the motor out of the car which is a 318 and a motor mount was bad as a matter of face the bolt was not even in the rubber part of the mount so there is just more to add vibration.
