NED Here I Come!!!!

Well.....output shaft on the C4 is broken.

I'll take it to Dynamic Racing Transmission tomorrow and I'm sure they can turn it around for me in a few days. The transmission was one of their Mighty Mite series models....I guess I'm going to need a Mighty..er Mite.

Splines on the output shaft were stripped......the transmission guys told me that type of damage is usually the result of something else breaking. Sure enough I went back to check the rear end (thinking of Vining from last year) and found that the passenger side axle is broken out at the hub. Haven't broken an axle in lots of years!!!

I'll have the trans back tomorrow with a fancy new output shaft.
 
I haven't had one of these break since putting in the C4.

On the flip side I now know that the planned winter rear end project is definitely needed.

Axle is replaced....I pick up the trans from the shop today.

Knowing there were spares kicking around would certainly help with some piece of mind!!!!

I guess I need to remember to bring the big a$$ axle nut socket.
