Re: My latest breakage
Im thinkin there was a little bouncing going on B . I dont think angle is the cause . If the driveshaft bound up the U-joint would bust. Poor mesh or bouncing, not that your hard on your stuff ! FjR68

Re: My latest breakage
Looks like the pinion was set to deep . The end is still there and the middle is gone. My guess. FjR68
