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!!

 

ill be posting pics of my tranny carnage tonight too!

 

So you twisted a billet input shaft?

 

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

Randy

 

Yes, I sure did.

 

So what did you run?

 

sounds expensive, are those warrantied?

 

Will be for me!

 

Garrett,
Maybe you should switch to a manual...

 

big freakin deal...

anyone can break an auto, only the real guys can break every tooth off 6th gear

 

Not when I have a built tranny with a 100,000 mile warranty!

 

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.

 

Well if theres anyone to break parts its you!!

 

You betcha! I'm the only person I know of the replaces supposed WEAK parts before they break, then break the stronger parts repeatedly!
