Update! 5r55S Broken input shaft
Ok guys yesterday driving down the freeway I steeped on the gas to pass a car and "BANG" pushed the gas pedal and no forward motion. I get the car off the freeway and I was hoping for a blown ujoint or grenaded rear end. SO the car runs fine (v6 with auto tranny) no fluid leaks no other visable signs of breakage. So before I pull the tranny I think that the input shaft is broken. with out spending a fortune does anyone know where I can locate a input shaft for a 2006 auto tranny? I plan on pulling it this weekend to confirm my suspicions.

Yes sir.... no odd noises no nothing. Thats what leads me to believe its the input shaft. It had a very distinct sound when it broke. Sounded like and axle shaft snapping.

This will show you the breakdown and give you an idea where to buy this shaft. Question. How did you sheer the input shaft off? Did the convertor lock and break it? How is the convertor? Any metal in the oil, since you destroyed the shaft? Inquiring minds, ya know. Lol. Good luck.

Look up automatic transmission warehouses in your area and you can find this shaft without much problem. (forgot to say that in my other post). Do you have any CEL on? I would think it should set a pressure code or something similar. Good luck.
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/TCI-749600/ has it for 147.50.

No CEL As sson as it happened I had it towed home and took it apart. The crappy par is im Pretty sure the shaft just pulls out but there is nothing to grab onto to pull it out to verify the length
