I have one (with axles) you can have for free if you want to take the cheap fix for now. PM if you want it.

My 3 bolt has about 200+ 6K rpm launches on it and still holding strong.

I know one day I will end up blowing it up

I have a 4 bolt in my basement with axles and cups, Just waiting for this one to break. How did you guys do that many launches with out breaking one is beyond me, last AWD I had I broke the 3 bolt first launch with a ACT 2100 in it. Heh, I was expecting it to fail sooner or later.

lol, first your pinion shaft then you snap an axle? Your drivetrain does NOT like you!

If you saw the abuse it has seen, You probably wouldn't either. I consider it shake down testing for finding weak drive-train components before track time.

True that. Better close to home than at the track! Time for that Shep trans!
