Twisted Billet input shaft
Dave @ Goerends tore into my built tranny today to see why I only had FORWARD gears after my trip to the drag strip Friday night.

I had my tranny set up with a 48RE front clutch drum, and to fit that drum in they machine the 47RE hub to accept it. I broke the hub.. but still managed to put about 400 miles on the truck between the drag strip and home, and between home & Dave's

Upon inspection of the input shaft, I twisted that about 1/4 of a spline

I will post pics when I pick the truck up tomorrow.

Guess 40PSI is too much boost to launch at!!

Bruce Block twisted a billet input on a third gen last week. I'll try to get some pics. Twisted, cracked and bent, it was awsome

Nice warranty. But after you they may reevaluate their policy!

Not Dave, he knew exactly what I was doing with the truck when he built the tranny and I am trying some "experimental" internal stuff to see how it will hold up. We found a weak spot.
