Default Drivetrain woes...

Some of you guys have probably seen my rants on FB for the last day or two but I want to make sure that you guys with the S60's see this post:

https://ls1tech.com/forums/gears-axl...u-buy-s60.html

Now I'm hearing the QT bell housing (which I just ordered) doesn't fit but they have been continuing to sell without notifying customers of the issue.



** EDIT **
Looks like I may not have an issue with the QT bell since I have an LT4 starter. I will post up after I get it installed this weekend to confirm.

Sucks. That's why I went with the 9". It's been proven reliable since it's invention.

I'm sure the S60 will hold fine now with the spool but being misled in the beginning is what's pissing me off the most.

Put the Strange spool in it last October. I don't remember the part number but I can get it if you are interested. It's a 35-spline spool though. Weighs about 200 lbs less than the TrueTrac LOL.

true trac is junk. I have herd problems with them in other rears aswell. Supposedly the wavetrac is better, but spool is the only way for high rpm m6 launches.
