Most likely everything before the transfer gears is ok. No telling if the ring gear was damaged. The case breakage at the pinion bearing retainer is one of the more common failures I've read about on here. I've never had it happen but some weld in extra bracing there. I broke the pinion shaft on my trans once. It broke on a WOT 1st to 2nd shift. This was with the supercharger on my 3.0l van. The shaft broke at the splines. The governor got wedged onto the jagged edge of the shaft and I was actually able to drive home just barely. Coasted into my driveway, put it in park and ,when I got out, the van started rolling backwards. Right then I knew what happened. I used to load mine up on the line too but I was only making 7psi at ~3200 RPM on the 3.0l. Hopefully you only broke the shaft and the broken off piece is just wedged in there somehow.
The governor is stuck on the shaft but it still turns. I don't know if there was still a little bit of spline left after it broke or what. I could probably get that governor off if I bashed it hard enough but I never tried.
Joe, where did you get your converter? I need a loose 4400
Some of the big hp guys (900+) leave on around 8lbs of boost and hit it with a 50 shot of nos. If you watch some of Stephane's video's he come of the line easy then nailed it....Yes! Another thing is that Warren said his last trans build lasted 10 yrs in his 10-sec car (now faster). I think if you learn and accept a few basic principles about getting the car off the line without breaking it, the stock trans parts will work for a LONG time. Aside from random flaws.IMO, a 5000 rpm stall situation should not be bogging even if you don't have much boost.
I snapped an output shaft on a STOCK 3.0/670 van 'launching' on street tires. I think some of these parts are just flawed. Aside from that, even very fast cars should see their hard parts living long healthy lives if they are not brake-boosted into the grave.
Dont push the red button.You hear me?
