    John,
    The output shaft that broke was a stock T5 shaft with unknown time/miles. I've been thru about 6 transmissions and have parts to build several in the shop.

    It could range from 2-10 seasons of racing... I just don't know...

    I will be upgrading to the high alloy A5 shaft (only an extra $125) over a stock shaft.

    Since you're AI, why not just use a different transmission?

    I would think a full A5 spec trans will be nearly bulletproof at his power level, and you keep the weight down with a t5.

    I could have used something different, but just chose to do the T-5 route again. Hopefully with the upgraded mainshaft, I won't have any more issues going forward.
