Yeah not looking good. Carbon fiber tube separated from the yoke. So...I'm down until I get a replacement shaft in. Sucks. Trans/clutch/everything else looks good though.

we have had customers go for a year and not brake a halfshaft, we have had them go out, and break first time, you just never know

same with clutch, daily driving, the oem clutch can last a long time, but when you start adding big burnouts, launches, will def shorten your life

on the half shafts and ds, we have great offerings with dss and gforce,

and clutches we have mcleod, exedy and mantic that are real popular, feel free to hit us up with any questions you may have

On half shafts - are 800 hp ones enough for 700 to the wheels

I went to the 1/8th once on Drag radials, did 2 half mile events on Drag radials and had about 10 mexico runs. it held up a lot longer than I thought it would lol

Results are all over the board for this stuff. On stock half shafts and clutch w/ the usual n/a setup, gt350 IM, LTH ect, I had tons of passes on street tires and slicks. No issues. I then sprayed it for a few months w/ 150 shot, stock axles and clutch, no issues. Went boosted and the clutch went on me within 2k miles or so. Granted it had seen a lot of prior abuse! Stock axles held fine.

I went w/ an exedy hyper twin clutch and threw in the gt350 axle kit and raced this last weekend, got about 10 1/8th mile passes in...clutch and axles held, mt82 blew. Bye bye 3rd gear. I was expecting the mt82 to go eventually, good excuse to upgrade.
