Don, I think what I call the clutch shaft #103071 is the part that I have had broke on two standard transmissions. I have thought about beefing it up but the problem is then the torque is transfered to something else. To me it's never ending. I had a call a few weeks ago for a rear transmission mount. Not to be found. Then the problem just keeps getting transfered around.

I may have the opportunity to get a quote this weekend. Maybe this is a problem that needs solving!
