It was. It's now known as ****************sville.
Sorry about the lack of info. It's a manual. The damage is to the lower left hand corner. There is a 'brace' that attaches the gearbox to a 'shock absorber' (?) which was hit by the L/H driveshaft when it separated from the gearbox (long story which I'll go into when I have more time). This caused this section of the gearbox body to shear off. There is also damage to one of the six screw holes where the drive shaft bolts onto the gearbox.
This may be repairable, but it's not something I really want to take a chance on.
Quote is from an independant in LA, recommended from the thread on local repair shops. I'm waiting for a dealership service dept at Thousand Oaks to get back to me with their quote.
