I really tend to agree on this one. I've now seen several cars with broken input shafts/couplers, and every one has had some other root cause: --adaptive bellhousing to Chevy/Buick/brand X engine --missing pilot bearing --missing alignment dowels between engine and trans (this ate two of them!) --one we're still investigating, but it's a non-DMC engine as well, although it is a PRV block. I'd still put money on an alignment issue. I've opened up/refurbed many of the transmissions and the only difference I've seen between "fresh" ones and 100K+ mile trans is very slight wear marks on the bearing races. Not bad, just that you can tell they are used and that the PO probably never changed the oil.
