I ran over some dead deer remains a couple of days ago and it was fine till about 30 min later when the check engine light came on. Would anyone have a good guess what could of been affected? I looked under the car and from what I can see there's a cable hanging down but it doesn't look beat up from what I can see and it's still connected. It's a thick black cable with white connectors in the middle right in the middle of the car. It runs fine, I haven't noticed anything but like you guys said befroe it's the little things that mess up our cars.

I have a seperate icon for that but that was the first thing I checked just in case lol. I don't think there were any antlers. It looked like it was split in half and I ran over the stomach portion. It smelled so bad I think the hair and blood was getting cooked from my exhaust. Smelled like burning hair.

Getting the remains off of my car was a bitch, I had to go to a car wash, put my car on ramps, and spray the **** off with the high pressure.

been there, done that. Pics were gross
You can come by the house and I can check the code or go to autozone, etc. there are a few things that could have gotten snagged.

I doubt that did it, I was spraying directing on the guts from point blank range and I was still there forever trying to get it off. I have a very weak stomach, it was not fun at all but the smell was horrible, I had to get it off.

I was watching taboo the other day on national geographic I think. It followed the people that clean up crime scenes. One it showed was a guy had jumped in front of a train. The worker cleaned the underside of like 4 cars and you could see little pieces of clothes and blood everywhere.

Well it looks like my tranni is going out (just in time for my engine rebuild). Last week I started grinding on high RPM shifts to 3rd, today had an issue where 4th and 5th felt a little "clunky" and the tranni refused to down shift in to 3rd (and yes I rev match my downshifts). All of these issues are high RPM related and so far everything works pretty well during casual driving. I am assuming this is a syncro issue with 3rd (had another tranni replaced under warranty 70k ago with 4th gear syncro failure)...ugh
Any thoughts/feedback
I would like to source a s2 tranni but am not confident I can find one. I guess the question is should I rebuild this one or source a replacement?
