To be honest, I'm not a transmission guy, I'll pull one out from the car, or I'll put it in, but there is no way I'll open one up without adult supervision..

But each time, it was on the input side.. The first one I believe was the planetary.. The 2nd time was the input shaft and on the last time.. we didnt even bother to open her up.. we just gave it away and hoped the guy we gave it to, could use the parts inside..

So after the 3rd breakdown, it was an easy decision for me.. $3500 for a PG (complete) or $5000+ for a built 727 that still has a stock case and requires a shield or blanket.. Not only was it a financial decision, but a PG is supposed to be a more consistent transmission for us bracket racers.. Only needing to shift once

I do have a pic of the broken input shaft..
