I thought I would show what happens when 1800 hp breaks a power glide trans in a monster truck.

The trans is a Dedenbear case, these cases have an inner steel liner insert to contain an explosion.

High clutch drum failed and destroyed the complete tranny.  Tranny case is broken in many places , yet all flying parts were contained.

Keep in mind that this a completely new parts powerglide.  Very little is OEM parts


Some trucks  run Gear vendor over drive units on the glides for the longer race courses
