Epic transmission failure!!!

[Abstrastic]

So close to two years ago my transmission went out in my Tahoe and I had it rebuilt with a what I would call a 'wimpy shift kit' and a corvette servo; it started leaving from third gear so that's why it was rebuilt.

Fast forward to about a month and half ago and this happened destroying the whole case. Thankfully I wasn't on the freeway or pulling a trailer.

That's the output shaft.

had mine rebuilt a year ago after an epic fail as well. my planetaries came out in 4 pieces...oops. the noise it made was incredible. have the person sitting next to you start going "knock knock knock..." and you sit there and squeel "weeeeeeeee" like a pig at the same time. thats what it sounded like when it ate shit. i was actually on my way to drop it off at the shop for the rebuild since i knew it was on its way out. AAA got it the rest of the way.

do you tow extra heavy and try to accelerate hard with it or have any power adders? dont see those shafts breaking much on stockish setups.

Any ideas what cause the failure? Did the staft snap causing the problem or vice versa? looks like the snap took out the pump.

The output shaft broke and caused the whole thing to explode.

The most I tow is my buggy and it doesn't weigh much at all being it's mainly all tube.

I'd post a pic but tapatalk is being retarded this morning.
