I haven't blown up a 904 during 35 years plus of racing. I have hurt them ,once due to an out of adjustment shifter. I am not required to have a trans shield to run mid 11s but I keep it in just in case. Its a pain when changing a motor or trans but I like having the security of it.

Someone on here once said it's due the stock steel 727 front drum diameter being larger so it can't take the speeds created when the other parts (rear sprag?) fails? 904 rotating parts are small enough that it's less of an issue with those?
