You must of did something wrong then. Because I use Superior servos in every performance build I do, and have NEVER burnt a band yet.

Maybe something was not in the correct order with the servo setup or the band might have not been in the correct position when the servo was installed. I have seen the superior servo break bands or have a pretty good clunk when coming to a stop. I have a box on the shelf full them if anyone wants to come get them. Vince

We do to and have never had a issue with one or the band breaking to date.
Now I will say if you use it with the stock band it may break it , I have seen those break with corvette servos and a shift kit
