Hi, I'm new on your forum, name is Jeff Leaver. I have a hand built gt-40 style race car that I built over a period of 12 years.It,s to long of a story to get into all the details but you can look at pictures at :
ronkimballstock.com and search under leaver-gt I open tracked the car for about 4 years and it is very fast. Favorite track is thunder hill in willows Ca. I have a 730 HP all aluminum sb chevy motor . I have an RBT trans axel that worked great for about two years .I have had it re-buil at rbt and pantera performance at least three or four times.I am very carefull about rolling on the throttle in first and never dumping the clutch. As I said it worked great for two years and now it last about three track days and is busted. Sorry to run on about this but if any one has any advice it would be great. I beleive that the case is warped and twisted some how and causes the input shaft to flex and vibrate, causing the pilot bushing failure and then the seal starts leaking ? I have dail indicated the bell housing numerous times and it is within .003.
