well lastnight i went for a joy ride around my block(country block) because sunday i got my new tranny in my truck. i got on it and everything was fine. i then turned around and was driveing for a bit and then at 40 mph i got on it again and going around 70 mph i went over this little hill and it fell like i got off the ground, witch it didn't, and then when i came back down it went clunk. well to make a long story short i think i broke a input shaft. I talked to my tranny guy who built my tranny and he thinks its my input or output shaft, sun gears, or t-case. i didn't look that much because it was night time. i know the t-case didn't kick out. this weekend i will be pulling my tranny back out and seeing what i did. atleast when it broke i wasn't to far away from my house. about 1/2 mile. so i got my 4-wheeler and pulled her home with my tail between my legs.

 

More than likely the input. Thats usually the first thing to go

That sucks man. How are the EGT's now?

 

I'm thinking maybe the output shaft if your lucky. The output is usually the weaker of the two. If the input broke then keep your fingers crossed that you didn't take out the torque converter, front pump, etc.

 

my EGT's suck. i can PEG my 1600* gauge. i need to do my valve lash and see what its at.

 

well there is no grinding so i don't know what i took out. tonight i will find out because i will be pulling it. i will take pictures for everyone to see what the damage is.

 

Looking forward to those pictures.
As for the EGT's, pull the Comp and put an EZ on. See what happens.

 

ya i might try that. i could pull the wire tap.

 

I tried pulling my tap because I was too hot towing, and it didn't make too much of a difference.
See if you can find an EZ. I know they say an untapped Comp is the same as an EZ, but I don't really think it is.
Maybe even try a different make of box altogether.

 

If there's no grinding then you either got real lucky on the input shaft or it was the output that broke.

 

well the bad news is that it was the input shaft.

 

That sucks! Is anything else torn up?

 

no not that i can see. i just took the pump off and pulled the shaft.

 

You got lucky on that one bud. That could have easily taken out the entire front part of the tranny.

 

ya i know. i am real lucky. now will the output shaft go out too you think or no.
