Super T10 Question
I am putting a Super T10 behind a 454 and I am curious about the short throw mod that can be done to it. Member Scorp508 made mention in this post Link
I haven't had any luck finding this part or even a picture of the stock and aftermarket part side be side.
Thoughts?

Stock muncie and ST10 were good to about 350 ft/lb of torque. If you are going to race it or push it hard it will crack like an egg. I have pictures of some of them that didn't last very long at the track.

Here's the relevant quote:
I think the $23- "kit" replaces the shift rod arms (see 1:20 in the video below).
Perhaps your internet search skills are good enough to find someone still selling them, or someone at Ecklers remembers them. Or you could make a set yourself.

so that was torque between the main and counter shafts just spreading the case until it split? any possibility a casting flaw in that case caused it and it was an anomaly, not the norm? looks like the drain plug was brazed. mebbe some eyediot thought he needed a hundred foot lbs to seal the drain plug?

Well possibly on the brazing but this was one of two that failed in my son's car. The other was a 50k mile untouched original. I like those transmissions, same with Muncies, but they won't hold up to a lot of hard use. The new cases are better and I have not seen one fail but who knows. TKO600 was used and replaced as power went up, G-Force was next. Not sure what goes up faster, the power or the price, probably the price. The G Force has 50 miles on it and may be up for sale, as a built TH400 is probably going in next.

You can go pretty quick in a Corvette and stay manual.
