It took me 20 minutes to install. If I told you I spent $13 on a brand new output shaft support, you'd probably tell me I wasted my money on that too. Get lost! excuse me ???? at what point did i say that you wasted money ??? i only paid 26 bucks for my bolt in and i made sleeves from a piece of 3 inch tubing , though i paid more for the rear support , so what its not going to stop the trans from blowing to pieces . my comments were in reply to your concern of hurting your matching number trans . none of the parts your purchased are going to do a thing to stop a front drum explosion or any of the damage that is shown in the pictures above . whats your matching number matching number trans worth if its broken in 2 ??? running up my post count some more .

Dvorak put a LARGE (non-standard) pinion nut on the new pinion ... which collided with 1350 joint a some critical pinion angle ... busted a cap ... set up a small vibration (not that I could feel it) and broke the TailShaft housing. My fault for NOT checking everything more closely. Oh how a $5 part can ruin your day! I put a PROPER Pinion Nut and Washer and rechecked it's clearance thrice. Gary, get a Low Band Apply VB and you'll really minimize chance that you'll bust a sprag ever again. Low Band Apply saves sprags and feet. That boltin sprag is ONLY to save the case. Put that Blanket ON!

I never thought much of it, but Chuck from Best Machine was telling me that a low band apply valve body can be scary in some situations. Lets say you launch the car and something happens or you get squirrely. When you get out of it, all of the cars weight dives to the front.. We'll see how it goes if the Griner is low band apply..

Lets say you launch the car and something happens or you get squirrely. When you get out of it, all of the cars weight dives to the front.. I guess in the event of a worst case where you break an axle at 6000rpm just prior to 1-2 shift w/ a spool, and the wheels off the ground and jump OFF the throttle it may be a guaranteed handful. When you get out of it under those conditions under good traction, in a No-Band apply VB, it's time to tear the tranny apart. That's why the Non-low Band Apply units have NO 1st gear braking. The braking is the Low/REV band apply. When I broke my drive shaft last year ... I launch ... it pulls the wheels up .... BANG ... rattle rattle bang bang. I pulled the transmission and checked the Over-running clutch finding no damage, all due to Low Band Apply. IMO It's inherently stronger by design.
