Put the billet in when you do it. I've had a regular one break and then a better quality break. The trans guy put a billet in last time and no problems since. I pulled the tranny both times and took it to him. He put in free and even put a clutch pack in he said had a little wear on it. The pump has to come out to do it right.Good luck!
