I broke it again....

C MY 4D · May 12th, 2009, 09:49 PM

So I blew up the Auburn Diff over the weekend. I installed another set of 4.10s and the Detroit Locker again. Well I found a nice stretch of road today and figured I would test the suspension with the locker setup.

It felt great until I powershifted 4th gear and the wonderful "POP" noise was made.

It looks like I wiped out the input shaft. I'll post pics tomorrow.

It was expected.

Now that the car has been owned by me for a while now I figured shit like this would start happening. All of the weak links are starting to fail. I have been thru it with many other mustangs.

SWEET2KSTANG · May 12th, 2009, 11:12 PM

my first mustang, but its not all too bad. always been my older gms.

C MY 4D · May 12th, 2009, 11:17 PM

This is my second input shaft. The last one I broke was in my 351W fox with a Tremec 3550. It also broke when I powershifted into 4th.

Scott2001GT · May 12th, 2009, 11:19 PM

AzSonicSnake · May 12th, 2009, 11:20 PM

Maybe that's why the stock Eaton is keeping up with you.

ok... heres my shifting...

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

don't think its too shabby. been told by a few people. and trapping 129 tells that its not either.

lets compare some DA's and then we'll talk. a car back east will always kill a time ran out here.

my other issue has been getting the track time, as both of my 11.0 runs involved me getting the boot for not having a cage. and both were the first runs of the day, without dialing in the tires.

C MY 4D · May 12th, 2009, 11:48 PM

Yeah it looks good....

AzSonicSnake · May 12th, 2009, 11:49 PM

so how do you get away with the low numbers? assuming your not caged yet...
