I've been pondering this event ALLLLLLLLL night long. The only conclusion I could come to, is that somehow, the primary cover was never completely seated (it's been a cunt ever since it broke and I had to have it welded up) and all the ATF had slowly, or quickly, who effing knows, drained out of the primary which obviously had been causing some serious friction. I had noticed a small bit of smoke coming out of the hole where the alternator wires come out. I pulled over and stuffed my face an inch from my exhaust to get a whiff, wasn't electrical, metal or oil. I had smelled it before but couldn't pin point it and associated it with heat and the cold air and kept riding. I guess it was the smell of burning epoxy, and I got to smell it for over an hour waiting for the tow truck to show up.
When you watch the video, the sound is extremely deadened due to a sensitive mic and loud exhaust. You really can't hear the exhaust at all in the video, yet my primary popped loud enough to be heard over the exhaust. So, is it possible that with the little amount of oil and the mass amount of heat that the ATF vaporized and ignited and actually BLEW my center nut off?
I mean, I have a small bruise on my ankle bone this morning, it didn't just fall off. In fact, I'm pretty sure the guy in the utility truck I was passing thought I completely blew up my motor. It sounded like a gun shot when it went.
