Blown up CV joint. Going through the gears and then boom between 3rd and 4th. Tech says they've never heard of this before.

Damn! Nasty... Luckily it didn't take out anything else.... Sucks man, sorry to see this. It is a rarity in general these days... First one I have read about on a McLaren... 😲

Stock and wasn't launching

The rpms just spun up and I let off the throttle immediately and pulled over.

Good news is that the entire assembly is available here in NA so I should have the car back by next Friday.

Weird. That is a first on any mclaren I think, must have been a bad part.

Not fine, no reason to be happy, not common to McLaren, but....
this could happen to every car brand and type.
So, wipe your mouth, straighten your crown and carry on...

Sounds like you got really unlucky, and had a defective CV joint (which won't be made by McLaren).

Good. I wouldn't want to have parts that are heavier than they need to be
