There are numerous problems that could cause it to fail. Oil level may be to low, transmission miss built, internal leak, etc.. Are all the clutches burnt, what other symtoms are you having?

Tranny guy said that a shaft broke ? it supposedly engages the bands . ?????????? He said that other than that everything was allright. ? How much will a 29,000 gvwr tranny cooler lowwer my temps??
Alot ! I Run one Naked ,No fans ,& i saw @ Least a 30 to 50 deg drop .i was @ 190 to 200 on tranny temps & i went & Bought new SS lines & New fittings,An Earl fittings ,Took the old 'Stock cooler lines that run in the tranny out ,Trashed them.The tranny Now Runs 150 to 170 deg ,With the 29,000 B &m cooler ,i also put the cooler in the passengers side front ,right @ the fogl ight hole ,So it gets lots of air,
My question is which shaft broke? If you are breaking shafts I would like to know why? Does this vehicle make crazy HP or does it shift really hard? In some cases a billet shaft is a good upgrade to avoid these type of failures. On another note if a trans is shifting to hard then the obvious is that it is hard on internal components. Also if your tcc is applied during a shift this will happen as well. Might want to look into some other options. Vince
