Ok... I was driving down the highway at about 60-65.. i have a 94 cobra t5 tranny 102k miles... I had sped up to about 65 passing a car when the car started shaking pretty severe. next things i know i hear a very loud pop and the shifter seriously blew out of the tranny in my hand and flew into the back set.. but right as this happend i managed to clutch it before it blew out.. there is tons of oil comming out i can see into the tranny through the shifter hole and there are parts of the tranny laying on the ground.. i have no idea how this happend let me know of any ideas..
what makes a t5 explone..ideas?

i was gettin on my car a bit, shifted to 3rd and blew it up, nothing "exploded" per say, all tho it did make a loud bang
all other gears except 3rd still worked and i was able to get home
