Okay, the sprag in the converter is what the stator shaft is locked to. So the shock of the stator shaft breaking is applied to the converter, and as such, the sprag. Is it broken now? Maybe. Is it possible that it may break later because of that? Yes.


To me, the best solution for this problem is to have a race pump built, with a TH stator as opposed to the metric stator, and upgrade the input shaft at the same time, to the larger TH spline. That gets you a better stator and a better input shaft, which will be less likely to fail this way later. It also allows you to use a TH style converter. Yes, it is more expensive. But broken parts cost money, and usually a race.
