How many miles were on the clock when it died?

Which rotor went out?

How much carbon was found in the rotating port sleeves on the outside two housings?
087,870 (think I pulled it on purpose at that reading) on the ODO + ~30M with speedometer disconnected.

Something broke loose into the rear chamber. The rear rotor & housing sustained severe damage. Too many 9000+ shifts I guess.

As to carbon - very light. Cleanup of internals barely necessary. The outside took a beating from being dragged all over the State.
