Yup, Never seen anything quite like this that Sean hadn't worked on...
Re: Vanagon Conetastrophy
In case the pictures dont help you, the flywheel has sheared completely off of the Levine's 1.9l vanagon motor. No evident external damage.

I expected the Sean comment as soon as I saw the 1st, 3rd and 4th photos.

Yes hardware, and a flywheel & crankshaft.
Re: Vanagon Conetastrophy
wow, that was an advanced construction cone....how does the flywheel shear off with no external damage?
Re: Vanagon Conetastrophy
Knocked out of gear at 55. Put back into gear without any decel or engine racing. So back into 4th?
More disassembly needed to see what else failed.
