To no one in particular - but every one of the ORC failures I have seen started with an event.

Broke something in the driveline, spun then hooked the tires, bad wheel hop, severe tire shake, and doing dry hops. You can’t damage the ORC in 2nd or third gear by driving the car in any manner.

It always starts by what happened in first gear. At least on a street or drag car.

Trucks can fail the ORC by driveline snap when coming out of park when the truck is loaded on an incline.

The similarities between the car and truck is called roller spit-back.

Using LBA valve bodies will mitigate, and using an aluminum drum will keep the parts from coming through the floor but the first harmful event will generally always be driveline failure, driver error and/or lack of inspection after the event.


So......install your bolt in ORC, aluminum front clutch drum, put a good shield on it, instruct the driver how to launch the car, proper way to do a burnout, and maintain the trans after an event.

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
