Pricing:
$649.00
Description
The 23-spline billet input shaft is custom forged from High Strength 300M steel and incorporates a 23-tooth input spline and 62-tooth clutch spline. This shaft utilizes a heavy duty one-piece design, is OE seal compatible, and comes with Goerend lube modifications. This shaft does not fit non-lock transmissions.

FAQ
Why do transmission shafts break?
Transmission shafts can break for different reasons. One thing that will affect shafts is fatigue. If you bend a wire hanger back and forth enough times, the wire will fatigue and eventually break. This fatigue will happen with shaft use over time as well.
Shock loads tend to break input shafts, since they are usually the weakest shaft in the transmission.
One example of a shock load is in Baha racing, where the vehicle may leave the road surface and jump into the air. If the driver is still holding the throttle with the vehicle suspended in air, the vehicle's wheels will spin up faster due to the lack of resistance between the tires and the ground. When coming back in contact with the ground, there will be a shock load.
Another example will be when a vehicle is stuck and one of its wheels is freely spinning. If the freely spinning wheel is able to suddenly get full traction, it will create a shock load. Shock loads can tend to break at the stress risers of shafts, such as at the side lubrication holes of input shafts and at the front set of splines during a 1-2 shift on intermediate shafts.
Sometimes there is an opposite shock load. Examples of this can be found in semis. When a semi drives over a small bump in the road, its wheels may leave the road surface for an instant. When off the road, this allows the semi's trailer wheels to slow down. When these wheels do contact the road again, they will instantly need to speed up to match the speed of the vehicle. This will create a shock load, and will also leave a black mark on the road.
Bind up shifts happen when two gears are engaged at the same time for a fraction of a second. Bind up shifts will try to twist the shaft. Bind up shifts can also cause shock loads.
Transmission Shaft Overloading
During a boosted launch, when holding both the brakes and a full throttle, the intermediate and output shafts can become overloaded and can break in either a ductile or brittle manner. A ductile manner would mean that the shaft twisted before breaking. A brittle manner would mean that the shaft broke before twisting occurred. The intermediate shaft can break at the center or rear spline when overloaded.
