snapped atleast 9 of them..
nothing new on this..
lots of people are having problems with them..
get you a hardened output shaft, and have it bead blasted, and then have them put it under the magic light to look for cracks from the supplier..

I remember seeing sombody offering a stronger output shaft, but it was like 500 buck just for the shaft.

Damn Jason!!!
Didn't we just have a talk about the ultimate crappieness no the 4L60E? LOL
I believe FLP is cryo treating their output shafts. You might want to have yours done up like 01Thunder said then have that place in Sac. cry treat it.

Luckily the clutch packs in my truck went out first. But when I got mine rebuilt I got the hardened cry-treated one put in. So far no problems with downshifts at 40mph in my heavy *** truck with a 100 shot buuut once the new notor is in Im sure its going to be toast.

I actually got an hardened output shaft from a Z06 according to Manny. I didnt even know that Z06's came in Auto's.
