Here is a photo of a Covair power glide planetary / out put shaft as it arrived in our shop.

Yes, that is a twisted shaft!  The splines should ALL be straight!

They twisted the output shaft on the transmission ?  :shock:


How much Nitrous Oxide are they running ?

Maybe the result of a high speed reverse. If the car has a trans brake, that could cause that after repeated launches. I believe all the aftermarket planetary sets have better alloy in the shafts and gears.

Were they running a small block in it?

And it's twisted so nice and even too ...that one needs to be cut off and mounted.  It's a great picture for those guys that think they just have to drop the big block in and GO!   :lol:
