Too Much HP?

Ok So the other day my throwout bearing blew apart and this is what i pulled my transmission to find a piece of the input shaft broken right off clean break?
Has this happened to anyone else on here?
BTW 1990 Plymouth Laser Rs Turbo FWD

Bump

Don't bump your threads either.


HP doesn't break transmissions - torque does. And it's takes quite a bit of torque to sheer an input shaft.

In many cases, a broken input shaft is the result of a mis-aligned transmission. Are you still using the dowels to align the tranny with the block?

Your input shaft is OK, you broke your TOB boss/race and you just explained why this happened: your TOB "blew apart".

I have not heard of this happening before, but it seems pretty straight forward...
