Has anyone else done this with their MT82?
Got a stock replacement for now, but looking to upgrade as soon as something becomes available.

really? This was the first one I heard of. If it becomes an issue I'm sure the aftermarket will put something out.

Couple different stories about guys taking their cars into the dealer for tranny problems. Most, if not all, had broken input shafts among other issues. I don't think it's going to become a major problem.

Who said anything about stock? I'm just asking how common it is. We need upgraded parts!

Yes, it was at the track. 750+ rwhp, Centerforce DYAD clutch, happened on the 2-3 shift 7400rpm.

btw, here's the stock replacement shaft. :dw:

No harm. I don't hate the tranny, I hate that it broke and I can't drive it atm. It's not like I'm whining about getting it fixed under warranty. :lol:

Probably completely unrelated, but anyone else see that Ford just issued a large recall on SUVs and minivans where the input shaft on automatic trannys were failing?
