    sounds odd, your not pulling more power thou so how can this effected your gear box, have you had a 3rd party look at your car? Fair trading may ask for this also.

    Is there any thing on the UK forums about gear boxes going at this many kms

    can you break your writing up a little please

    From what you have said I would say the diff gears have broken and gone through the Gearbox. correct?
    The only reason spider gears (the small diff gears) fail is from excessive wheel spin and that would be the reason Holden has voided your warranty. Seen it happen many times before.

    lol i blame holden for wheel spin too then lol wheres the traction control!! hahaClick here to enlarge

    bet yeh as burito man said your not running any extra power through your box because of your exhaust... your car would have lost power over the years from wear, exhaust wouldnt probs make it back to stock levels, but in saying that the gearbox would also be wearing down and be able to handle less.. so damned if you do damned if you don't with the situation..

    check your box type with that one thats been posted... its deff the cheap way to do it, dont let holden get your money for their mistake!

    It was the spider gears and some pin that they spin on but they spat straight thru the middle and out the side so the whole gearbox is rooted
