Which one of you did it?

Uh, aren't we missing the obvious? Shouldn't there be a bunch of transmission fluid everywhere?

Just wondering...
What we see in the photo is assumed to be the resting place of where the transmission ended up and where the truck finally cam to a stop.
It is possible there was more to see behind the point from where the photo was taken.

Just a question that I don't claim to know the answer to:
Aside from transmission cooler lines snapping and possibly leaking out (presumably somewhere further back)...
Is it possible the rest of the fluid stayed contained in the transmission if the seals, transmission housing and transmission pan remained intact?
The separation was at the bell housing, well ahead of the front shaft seal. It looks like a little leakage around the back seal, but maybe it is possible for the majority of fluid to remain contained inside the transmission?

Just asking out my own curiosity in attempt to think out what might have happened in a situation (real or possibly staged) where we really have almost no information to go on. Kind of like trying to solve a whodunnit...

Only if it happened in NY or NJ.

What all you have missed so far is that it is an 80e.

That’s one way to save on labor.
