isnt that the part that the input shaft is suspose to be connected to? I cant recall the name of it, but I think it is suspose to have a shaft off the end and the part that we see goes into the center of the clutch pack. JUST A GUESS!!

It's actually part of the trans and I believe it would be the outer race to the forward input sprag. I thought I puked the sprag but I killed this little beauty instead.

You ripped the inner shear lugs off the overrun clutch pack inner shell that connects it to the forward sprag assembly 
Guess your forward clutches were toast, so the overrun clutches took over...this clutch pack only engages when you are manual shifting 1-3 ......I assume you were getting on it pretty hard, or else just using manual shifting because you forward clutches were fried and this is the only way you could get it to move.....

The trans worked fine before and after it dumped this out except the lack of the manual downshifts (I could manually downshift just had to get the rpms up the catch up due to the lack of the forward input working proper) after the pop. The clutches were fine, the 3-4 showed a little burnage (probably from the over 5000 rpm shifts) but everything else in the trans is pretty much OK.

I hope the new trans holds for 450-500hp. I am not too worried about the torque due to the fact I run a Miniram and EVERYONE and their mommy on the CFC4T KNOWS that Minirammed cars don't make torque, right Mick?

I didn't make it out for my bike cruise last year. My mommy wouldn't sign my permission slip.
To be honest I don't remember why I didn't make it.

It may only be 49cc but I did manage 44.3mph out of it last year after a bit of modding. I now have a Puch with a fart pipe and a bored out carb and intake and no head gasket.
No kidding either.

The big scoot is running very well. I have over 8000 on it. Very fun to drive yet. At least having that will keep the miles down on the vette this year again. Gotta have a CD player to keep me interested in driving motorcycle and so far it's working.
AKS, I said that tongue in cheek about the torque. All the dipshts here that have only read about them and have no first hand knowledge are the ones I am mocking.

at 6100RPM).There is no need for this much power on the street.
