I contaced Prothane first thing. This is a "known issue", I had to contact summit and they issued my money back. Good thing I do my own work, otherwise I could not imagine the bill.

Was there some sort of misalignment issue or bearing issue or did the coupler/s just FAIL?

Thats UGLY!

Bill, No miss alignment at all. There was no warning of this, just shifted into 4th and instantly knew something was wrong.

I wish I would have bought RPM couplers from the beginning. Talked to Todd yesterday, he told me what I needed to do to convert my original 10mm parts to 12mm.
