Judging by the hot spots on the steels and very worn frictions, I would suspect that excessive clutch clearance with hard 2-3 shifts is what broke the drum. Just a guess. Vince
Same thing I told him when he sent me the pictures to host for him.
Here are the actual pictures and for anyone asking no this is not a PerformaBuilt unit. I just hosted the pictures for him since he couldnt get them to load anywhere. I beleave its a home built unit.

I would agree with Vince excessive wear and or clutch clearance and possibly excessive line pressure could be the cause.

x-ray the drum and or use a flourescing dye on it and I bet the metal looks like a sponge. Looks like a contiminated casting. the snap ring lugs fialed and the rest of the damage ensued. Remember the parts your using are only ever so slightly over engineered.

This is not a PerformaBuilt unit. That is true... It was a stage 1 century built trans. There is another post about this trans.. 3rd and 4th clutches if you want more info.
