Finished transmission #1 this evening.. and #2 is ready to tear down. Finally getting to the fun stuff. Process was quite straightforward being the first time we had done a modern trans.
Car was not going anywhere with this shaft. Ebay $13 replacement will do the trick. I will not be running enough power to replicate this failure.
Ebay used press coming in handy..
New sycro billet keys and blocker rings installed and ready to go:
Measuring shaft preloads (since they use tapered roller bearings) and added shims to get 0.000 end play.
All done, cleaned up and ready to install:
Trans #2 ready to tear down. This one should go much faster.
