yeah when running a decent amount of power you really need a better torque arm set up. It will help get the power down smoother as well

That would be a crossmember mounted torque arm...

wait, what? what did you do? I used one of those years ago in my 82 TA and I had zero issues like that. I don't know if this is a bad luck issue. I forget now, does the bracket bolt to the trans using the 4 tail shaft bolts? Did you use long enough bolts? Did you destroy the TH350 main case?

You can put helicoils in the trans if the threads are chewed.
Just wondering, do you own a torque wrench?

Both issues appear to me as a torque application issue. It is easy to strip aluminum threads.

I understand what WBT is saying because honestly the thought crossed my mind as well. I have never seen one break like that so I am sure they weren't tourqued properly. That really doesn't matter at this point. Crossmember, and crossmember mpunted tourque are is what you need
