from another forum.
seen it on v6 probe
How much shaft is still left in the tranny?
yeah, thats not suppose to happen
perfect break right at the end of the spline root
Glad I wont have to worry about that 
that is just it, this has not happened to anyone on the forum since 2001 (when the forum started)
people who drag or launch these cars (MTX guys only) snap these things regularly but never the way this one broke, it is always the joints. and never from rolling on the throttle.
How much shaft is still left in the tranny?
a bit over a inch, kind of sucks he has to pull the tranny to get it out.
he didnt have to pull the tranny… he could have drilled/tapped the axel and threaded a bolt in it to pull it out
The transmission is coming out as I want to make sure I do not have any fragments inside that could tear up my gears, blocking rings and synchros.
opening up the tranny > blowing it up because you were to lazy to make sure fragments werent floating around inside the case
SHO MTX’s are starting to get harder to find parts for, and an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, especially in this case
and oh yea, you try using a hand drill on hardened steel while laying on your back and reaching around a subframe :bloated:
it may drill okay. It should be soft in the center.
