Diagnose Transmission Failure and Remove Unit

LSXcalade Transmission Ultimate Destruction + Biggest Upgrade!
What happens here
The project begins by observing the symptoms of the transmission failure immediately after a race. The Cadillac Escalade is shown on a drag strip, after which it's evident the transmission is broken as the vehicle cannot roll backward and requires winching onto a trailer. Further diagnosis by attempting to start the vehicle reveals the steering wheel locks up when the engine runs, indicating a severe driveline issue, likely within the transmission or transfer case. The existing, failed transmission must be carefully removed from the vehicle to access the internal components for inspection and repair. Although the removal process is not explicitly shown in detail, the speaker mentions it took approximately two hours.
Goal: Confirm transmission failure and physically remove the damaged transmission from the vehicle.
