[QUOTE=Phil97SVT]Made 1 - 1/2 pass this past friday night, left pretty hard,(1.45 60') yanked 2nd and sheared off the output shaft in the tranny. When I pulled everything out we also found that the shifter mounts on the torque tube are also broken.
Broken trans mount

Don't you just HATE it when that happens?

Any pics of the broken shifter mounts?
I have a funny 'clanking' noise at my shifter I'm going to investigate this weekend. It sounds like it's coming from right at my shifter. It's not drivetrain slop, but something else.
