If you look back, I mention a driveshaft slung on the dyno at the top of fourth gear with this tranny on a stock bellhousing. The driveshaft did tons of damage, including a shattered bellhousing. I believed that after a year of continued driving on the untouched T56 magnum, I was starting to hear a grinding noise from the output shaft. So I pulled the tranny and sent it to TDP for a rebuild.

Well here's the news, the tranny is on it's way back with NO repairs! The grinding turned out to be from the calipers in the front (misdiagnosis on my part, d'oh!) and the output/input shafts were within factory spec of straightness!

So a stock T56 magnum survived a thrown driveshaft at the top of fourth gear and a shattered bellhousing... WOW!

Also, I keep getting requests for wiring help on the Dakota Digital speedo conversion box. I'll try to take time and get something written up or pictures taken while I'm under it in the coming days.
