Bobby, in our case yes it was a casting problem. You could see the impurity in the casting at point of failure. We called Jerico and told them what we saw. They were curious and we sent them the parts back for them to see. They said at the time they believed that it was a "batch" that could have been bad. We run a three speed (265ci). So we do our burnout in 2nd gear so to break the 3/4 arm was do to stress during the run not during our burn out. There is a definate problem in this area. We use the 1-2-4 gears. We also had the clutch very soft no counterweights. I am sure that a clutchless trans would be different, due to the design of the sliders. I think what Joe said is correct but in ours it had so little runs it was different.
