Well, since the one worked loose, the next two (top & bottom) were doing double duty so aluminum threads came out with those too, and the plate got tweaked by the input shaft a bit, so its done. I really want to put this thing back together to see if reverse is fixed, and make sure everything else is OK, but might just start fresh... decisions

You were putting loctite on them right ?
I wonder if theres enough room to put a BHSCS from the backside/inside and make it act like a stud ? An entire end cap bearing plate like the older transmissions would go great lengths towards keeping things stiff and meshed... If Simon has even remembered those.
Is it possible to drill the heads for safety wire?
I typically dont threadlock those (may change that) and never had them loosen before... guessing the threads were just yieled from over use.
The end bearing plate on the older trans' was reduced to the later style because the distance from the bearings to the bolts was too much, which is why the older ones flexed so much. I think I posted pics of the 555 I have with two extra c-sink bolts added between the two shaft bearings? Kindof a predecessor to the later style. A thicker CM support plate would be good. I like the stud idea too, not sure if it woudl fit, but have a hammered aluminum bearing plate I can chop up to see LOL
Definitely possible. Not sur eif safety wire woudl haev helped this though, i think the bolt was more pushed out than unthreaded

An insert might help by reducing thread wear/damage vs the bolt being torqued directly into the aluminum bulkhead especially if its being taken apart frequently but otherwise I just cant see it adding any direct strength because theres just not a whole lot of meat/structure in that area of the transmission. I've got a junk 568 case that I may throw something together tomorrow and check the clearance to see if theres enough room to put the bolts in from the backside and stud the plate into place.

Nice run JT, is that your best 330' and if so, by how much? (next closest 330')
Went back a few pages and it looks like your best 330' with 24's was 4.77, so you've gained over a tenth with the 26's and twin disc so far! Not sure why that hasn't translated to a 10.50 (changed shift point/ better shifting down the track?) but your deff headed in the right direction!

Waiting for carnage! Fixing something that is broke might result in a better product for the rest of us but possibly a waste of time and money.

Yeah, it is nice to not spin well into 3rd anymore, LOL... was hoping to play with it at SDAC, stoopid reverse LOL
Carnage up tonight maybe
Thanks for the offer Skibbe, but I want to check reverese with this pile before subjecting any known good trans to it. Got a spare trans of my own if needed and hopefully a good spare i-shaft in a parts trans from Dave
Anyone got a 91 523 3.85:1 they want to part with?

Yep... they were much needed to try to stick the 24.5's. I'd like to get a good track day with the 26's and 3.50's to see if I can actually get it to hook in 2nd, then I'll probably try the 3.85's

Keep the 3.50's and turn the boost up more for wheel speed.

At your trap speed you only give up 134 rpm if you have to settle for 3.77's.

You sure know how to break stuff....
For some reason every time I have drained the soup out of my 568 it has that same color. I can see brass, aluminum and even some darker (steel??) colored sludge that settles to the bottom of the drain bucket after a week or two.
