That's what I thought... sorry to hear about the bad luck. I welded first gear too, luckly the billet shaft had very little damage. I would have hated to buy a new one. Sledpullers weld first gear more than drag racer do so I'm told.

 

yeah, it sucked, a costly mistake on my part, but that is part of it when you start playing with these beasts, atleast i got it back now and it is running like a champ
