Transmission breaking

ARCH my transmission freaking broke! I was doing a highway run when i shifted from 4>5 at 8000 RPH at about 230 KPH. Then when i shifted CRAGTH the transmission fell apart and my wheels locked. I'm just glad i didnt hit the walls. Now i gotta buy a new one and install it . Worst part is i cant buy a new transmission for the next few weeks because i'm running short on cash.

Curious, if you were doing 230KPH in an S30, how did you manage it? It's been proven that aerodynamically the S30 won't go past 125mph. 230kph is around 143mph. Please explain what you have done to your car.
