Awesome! Do they make a stronger input shaft or is yours the strongest they make?

not sure.... ckperformance shows they have one stronger than the 300m shaft, made of aermet 100 (means about as much as the 300m to me). but they seem to be the only one?

most places FTI/PATC/Jakes/etc just show the 300M -the guys i dropped it off with seemed kind of surprised i managed to break it - they asked for the converter to throw it on their tranny dyno. i said well it wont going to make **** atm. kinda looked at me funny as i pulled the shaft out lol. i think they thought i was exaggerating and there was just something else wrong. they market their own billet input shaft - but i think its common to get the shaft from where ever and sell it under their name

Jeez man, I'm sick of popping in here and seeing more bad news. Maybe you should get some 26"s and go donk racing with those little rubber band tires. It would help the traction/transmission breakage problem

the donk world is a tricky clique to get into

didnt have much luck finding 24 or 26" slicks when i went looking

Thats the whole point, skinny no sidewall **** tires that spin the whole way down the track so you never break another trannys shaft.

Make sure to get floaters if you go that route

Stumped fellas...I've looked over both of the headgaskets and they look perfect, all the water ports are indented and compressed around the openings no signs of water creeping.

There's a couple spots in the back cylinders 6+8 all the way at the top into the rings.. not sure if just stains or debris riding the rings while it's been parked for one of the many breakages.
Order some penetrating dye and developer, guess I'm going to mask everything off and hit the one spot atleast to see if it is a crack. Tried filling the water jacket up and letting it sit for a day but nothing leaked in- may just open up with heat/pressure tho

And I’m just trying to figure out why my trans stops shifting randomly. I feel so stupid when I read this thread. I cant even figure out the simple stuff.
