If you're going to break something, break it good.

Mine started to go on strike after the torque management was removed, but after a couple passes with a 100 shot it decided it no longer wanted to be employed!

Damn Carlos that sucks... Put a T56 in it and have it built. Those things usually last for a while and depending on who builds it, it should be able to take some abuse.

Carlos, by the looks of that last pic it has been leaking for quite some time? Does not look like an internal failure. Will it still move?

it looks like it was just the output shaft carrier snapped, i wonder how it must have shifted the hell out of the engine and it tried to flex that too. that exhaust mount is useless anyway
