You're awesome Joe! :D Everything except the output shaft looks good. Someone allowed their engine to put too much torque through a 1200Hp built tranny. Looks like a laser cut it! it was very nice to see you and John again. :beer:

It's a 4R70w rebuilt into a FB Performance 4STB (their nomenclature). Built to handle 1200hp, manual valve body with trans-brake. Joe's Chevy engine cut the output shaft like a knife though butter with its awesome torque. I took the GM-AOD bellhousing off and am in the middle of disassembly to repair it.

This was replaced by a TH400 after the "mishap".

Valvebody with the solenoid wired for transbrake.

Snapped output shaft (light rust is from being open to the air, tailshaft housing was shredded):
It'll buff out! :lol:

Custom piston compression tool...

HD Kevlar OD band. Still looks new. Of course it probably never saw overdrive considering you never want it engaged for racing.

Intermediate one-way clutch and reverse clutch assembly.
