Default 01 Cobra rear end broke in reverse

I bought an 01 cobra used with 46,000 miles on it and the car has done nothing but break on me! My question is has anyone ever had a rearend break on them just putting the car in reverse? I wasn't beating on the car i just went to back into a parking spot and i just heard it break and now it sits until i can take it apart and look at it! Any ideas what happened and how much to fix it?

Depends on what part broke, was it a trans gear? the axle? axle gear?

Probably the car was not "treated right" by the previous owner, it is not common to break something going in reverse.

If you want, send me the IRS -I'll put it to good use!

Then you can throw in a stick-axle~!
