Could have gone A833 instead, and never have to worry about sprags again Until the gears lock up on the shaft and the trans locks and your car skids through the traps and possibly into the wall.... yup replacing a car is way cooler than replacing a sprag Sorry that happened to you! What was the root cause? I've never seen a failure like that... Edit: also, I'm sure the dozens of little planetary gears in an automatic couldn't possibly bind or lock up... could they?

i broke 8 teeth on my 8 3/4 last friday at dragstrip on launch.decided to pull the tranny and check the sprag,sure enough it cracked the case in 2 spots and collapsed the wave springs,it was a bolt in stock style sprag.valvebody is a reverse pattern low band apply style. that's really hard to believe glad you did the right thing.
