New parts are on the way, then they will be dropped off for cryo treating.
The part that broke was used, I am going to say it was a bad part from the word go and hope for the best.
I should only need it to handle about 2-4 more launches then we will see how long it lasts on the street.

John, do you preload on the line at all? If not, could help.

Not yet, I am not launching on a 2 step and I slip the clutch a lot so I do not think its shock loading that caused it to break.

That really sucks about the tranny issues! Hopefully it was just that used part like you said and you don't have any more bad luck. Crazy how positive you're staying and just keep on trucking! Keep up the amazing work!
I'd wonder if warming up the tranny fluid before making a pass might help, like drive around the pit roads a bit. I always hated making pulls on a cold tranny fluid

What gear were you in during the dyno pulls?

Comes at a cost. Warmer gears are weaker gears. I wish Jack didn't erase all his posts on Link forums or I'd have a source of reference.

On a Dyno Dynamics you can not go over 150mph, so a dsm you run the car in 3rd gear, and that still gets to 110mph.
