Broken Torque Tube Repaired, Photos
I just got my shark back a couple days ago after it was in the shop getting the torque tube replaced. The drive shaft broke at the back.

Hmmm... as this is my first posting here, I can't say I care for this "UBB Code" stuff. What's wrong with plain ol' HTML?
JD, are you listening? How about enabling HTML?

Ed, that is a nice site. Not too big, but very clean and easy to navigate. I like it when people put together sites for their cars.
I guess I need to get mine done.

The rebuilt replacement TT is one of the older constant-diameter-drive-shaft ones, which I understand is less prone to fracturing at the boundary of the splines, so I hope the replacement TT doesn't suffer the same fate.
I also had them replace the two torque converter drive flange bearings (a recommended WYIT job). Hope there wasn't anything else that should've been done.
