Well......now that I have the car running, I am finally able to do a bit of driving. Sunday, I went a half mile down the road and turned around, testing fueling and making sure I was holding fuel pressure (all good there). I am on the half mile back at about 50% throttle and out of the blue, OD is gone. No gear. I figure its the endclutch but don't know why it failed so today, I rebuilt a spare endclutch for a quick swap out of the one in question and here is what I found when I pulled the cover off of my NEW DTR transmission. Almost ZERO MILES ON IT.
I am very disappointed to say the least.
Take a look.....
I swear, I can't win with these cars so I'm about to give it up. An old man can't just keep R&Ring transmissions. Money, time LOST and an old body are just about done.
Am I pissed.....well yeh

Holy. I don't even know how that is possible. Aside from the snapped shaft, that transmission looks incredible. But I have no clue if that can happen just from wear and tear of parts, or improper installation.
Hope it's made right.
