I snapped the main shaft in my 5 speed and was thinking about going AUTO......what should I do?I don't want to fix it and break it again.Don't auto's take more abuse than a 5-speed?

 

if u need AUTO parts, let me know... i have a friend who is selling a bunch of auto parts in REAL good condition for cheap.

 

hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahh ahahahahahahahahahhaha
wait

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

mmmkay.... i better heahah

first of im thinkin you are an AE of someone else... if not, seriously READ the forum for a day.....

 

How did this happen ? Please explain the details that caused the failure. It is not trun that automatics take more abuse, unless sufficiently beefed up and cooled.

I dumped the clutch at 5000rpm's and SNAP!!!!!

 

why do you think its the main shaft?
does it not go into any gear?

 

i would love to see a Manual to Auto conversion... that might be a first... although i think i remember someone else doing it...

 

if you are serious then I would go domestic, like as powerglide or some such. and no, the stock auto does not withstand more abuse. on the plus side, you will never worry about snapping anything as there will be no 5000 rpm launches.

 

i ahve auto parts for you...they all have 26k miles on them pm me for details

 

Fix it and sell it.

 

I got the tranny out and you can see the main shaft broke off in part of the drive shaft.If I can't get the broken peice out I might have to buy another drive shaft too.
