otto, I assume english is your second language but what I get from your question is "you spun a bearing"? several reasons that this could happen: when improperly installed or, from low oil.

Yes, that could cause the problem. Also taking hard turn under heavy acceleration can cause oil issues. Oil gets to sloshing around when taking sharp turns, and the oil pick up does not get a enough oil. I'd recommend making a windage tray.
