I'm guessing there was too much play in the tail of the trans. Either the output shaft was fatigued or the bushing was worn too much? Anyone else have thoughts on this kind of Muncie failureÖ

Do you guys use a scatter shield when you run your cars at the reunion? Very dangerous to run a solid lifter chevy without one! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif[/img]

It appears that something caused the trans to lock solid then the momentum of the spinning wheels, rear end, drive shaft, and Dyno caused the output shaft to shear in half and shatter the bell and trans housing. It is difficult to say without a close look at all the parts.

I don't think NHRA requires a scattershield on stick cars until you run in the 11's. Also, you take a risk of this happening regardless if you're running at the track or, as the case may be, running on a dyno...this could have happened on a cruise just the same. I've tore up more stuff on the highway than on a track by far!

Dennis was this the original trans?

Busted trans had 'correct' dates and castings but no VIN. Not original to the car.
