I too have blown up lots of chit racing......only u will come close to knowing how that cluster came apart and Rockwell will have nothing to do with it. Anything from a bearing to a chipped gear case spread could have destroyed that box. Have seen old sportyies ,shovels ,EVOs and twinks do the same thing and all different . Nothing earth shattering here....... You yourself have said you pound the crap out of it. Lol
nothing to see here u found a weak link 98% here will never see.
kid down the street just explodes a WRX box....have seen a brandnew vette box exploded that had a couple of hair dryers on it. Lol. Put your mind too it you can find the weak link on a PETERBILT .......we did!
NEXT!

I heard when they drained one of the problem transmissions, instead of oil the thing was filled with duck sauce.

Everything has a failure mode, and failure rate. Hopefully this fai!ure is at the far end of the failure rate.

Yeah, you have to pull the primary cover to adjust it, but once it is adjusted you really don't have to worry about it. You might end up doing an adjustment every 10-20 K miles.
