Hit a construction cone at 55 on Route 2 heading to Kelley's.

That's odd.

Oh and did Shawn let u borrow his camera?

Yup, Never seen anything quite like this that Sean hadn't worked on...

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.

Cheap fix just need some new hardware

Yes hardware, and a flywheel & crankshaft.

wow, that was an advanced construction cone....how does the flywheel shear off with no external damage?

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.
