Just a wee bit of torque.....

[SHOMurph]

Snapped another axle shifting into 3rd while racing my brother in law's Honda 600cc crotch rocket.

Did a 40 drop. At the end of 2nd I was a car ahead. GRRRRR would have kick his butt too!

Fixed and ready to race again.

 

[Sho Amo]

Nice one there. I have my snapped axle pics somewhere. I have broke the shaft itself.

hahaha yeah I'm there too.

Usually its off the line at a drag strip when it snaps.

This was my first one shifting into 3rd gear.

yeah technically I got beat by a honda. Rematch will happen!!!

Freaksho is working out some bugs.

Tony is putting the finishing touches on El Toro.

I'm staying home saving money for adopting a child.

Probably next big event for us is the 24hr of Lemons in Oct then the Texas Mile.

**** my parent's are trying to get me give me away. I need to stay with Russ for a week, pick out one of his daughter's for a wife, then you can adopt both of us. I am low maintainance, and can fix you're SHO for life. You won't even have to pay.:laugh_ti:

How about a T trim for a wedding gift.......

 

[hawkeye18]

I was going to say the same thing. Much better you snapped the output shaft than the, er, input shaft.

 

[kzoosho]

cool....thats one heavy duty nissan!

shaft here too.

**** yea. I love it lol.

 

[1993MTXSHO]

**** yea. I love it lol.

The beauty of an import done the right way, props man, and you know that means a lot coming from me

I'd rather change the CV shaft than nuke 3rd gear in the trans.

But why nuke either when you can spend almost $7.5K to prevent this? :sun:

hahaha sure come on over. As many of these damn SHOs I own I need a full time mechanic!

Just bring some of that yummy PA beer from last year's convention!!

7 transmissions!!! Did they go up in price? I thought they sold used for like $300!

 

[Lupo]

I'd much rather bust an axle than anything else in the trans.
I busted my clutch disk shifting into 3rd, and I would have much rather busted an axle. Takes about 30 minutes to replace, and less if you are an expert.

What sort of rubber are you running? Looks like Eagle GS-D3?

well I work mucho hours so I let Mr. Tony do my R&R then its about $250 to swap syncros, bearings and quaife over to the new tranny.

Its about a grand once its said and done.
