exactly what i was getting at, the transmission being the weakest link of the drivetrain..the input shaft of the trans is going to be the first piece to break, its for sure the smallest and weakest part in the drivetrain.the only reason im saying any of this, is because i have a fairly large small background in offroading.. and i know about sammi's and trackers, and there weak points, idk how many trackers/sammi's ive pulled out of ruts because of broken input shafts. my friend used to have a lifted, hot rod Sammi (with a tracker trans), and he used to go thru a transmission every month or so, or 1 good weekend if we went sorta hard on it.
...BTW your Bieber avatar is awesome.-Malone
I have a pic of the shaft but do not have rights to post it.

I think most of the 4x4 quads have them beat lol. Just playing.I can have my friend make you a shaft and have it cryo treated as I will be a rep for a cryo treatment place after this thursday. The cryo place charges by the pound so it will be cheap on that. The machine shop is 100.00/hour shop rate, but he does good work. At that same time by the time he is done you may just be further ahead to see if it breaks or not.
