Well, I took on my brothers cobra on the way to a local cruise spot and polished off the transmission tail shaft something fierce. Went 5th to 3rd at about 80 mph in an attempt to get the jump on him, considering his power level I know I was going to need the advantage. I got out front and held him off only to see a ton of white smoke on the slow down from 140+.
Tail shaft is completely cracked nearly all the way around the circumference. You play, you pay as I always say..
Here's some shots of what I found in disassembly, hope to be back on the road by Tuesday if the parts are available, gonna see if a friend of mine has the ability to do a warranty ticket for the part and me do the work. Not likely to fly, but worth a shot - part is 420.00 on average:
Thank god no damage internally:
