He was doing between 20 & 30 when it completely locked up. Pretty scary ride for about 30 seconds untill all motion ceased.
Wish you the best & be very careful driving, I would get it fixed asap.

Actually that's exactly what my buddy said would happen and why I started the thread. Sounds like a shocking experience.
I pulled the cover off today but unfortunately my camera died when I tried to take the first picture of the internals. I inspected it pretty carefully but couldn't find any blatant problems. I was told to expect small metal shavings kind of like the fine stuff left behind by an eraser and I did but I also found 8 larger pieces.
Do you think those are big enough to have been the ones that were causing the problem? I took it around the block and everything was fine so far.
