My shaft was installed by Jeff Garmon on wedesday in the tranny that he built from my core. By sunday it looked like the pics show. Last time i looked thats 4 days. And if you could read i have stated 15 times that none of my trannys will lock in 1st gear. They all have to shift to 2nd first before they can loc-up. So your statement of "doing converter lock launches" is a LIE!
The only thing i can see you are saying is that Jeff Garmon did not build my tranny right and thats why it did what it did.
After this whole opie shaft thing i went back to a fresh HTS 47RH with TCS shafts,durms and other billet parts. It has made over 60 passes this past year and still was working great when it will pulled out when i sold the truck.
Side note. TCS shaft is still perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not one time did ever ask for a FREE shaft from you. I email you about what i need to do about getting it fixed. Thats when you started with your "I am not going to do anything about your shaft" replys.
At the time i got this shaft from Jeff your website said "2 year warrantee". No where did it say any thing about full competition trucks or anything like that.
This post was put up to show what happen to 3 shafts i have used. I can't help it if your shaft was the one that failed and you can't handle that.
I have read what you have stated. Now you got 4 days out of it where it was what you referred to as only a spool up originally. Heres the deal, you where running a loose converter and locked it while at at wot in a race truck that has much more than the 600 hp that was stated earlier by someone else in this thread. It was shock loaded and twisted. After finding out about application it was in I still offered to replace the shaft for $200 but obviously that isn’t what you wanted. And no I never implied anything about Jeff Garmons tranny build. It is very obvious he is a very fine builder with a long track record to back it up. You said I had a flaw in my manufacturing and did a hardness test to prove it, which it didn’t and then lied about the material I made it from. I do not use 300M. Yes I remember the part that you have almost 20 years as a machinist. The whole opie shaft thing caused you to buy another HTS transmission with fresh TCS parts, then you sell the truck. lol I really hope that truck you sold never breaks another part again.
