124" build...I'll let the cat out of the bag

[No Cents]

  this piece of metal was laying in the bottom of the housing.
I got lucky and heard the tranny come apart just a miles from the house. I was able to limp it back home and this is what I found.

Bummer.. I'm kinda surprised the tire grabbed enough to do any damage..

[Nastytls]

I broke the tranny today 

Ray

You just needed an excuse for a DD7!

At this point, why not....

[rageglide]

I would say you just got really lucky! 

[biggzed]

So you need a new C clip.... What other damage?

I would say you just got really lucky!

Lucky is an understatement. 
I rode it 200 miles yesterday and the last 20 miles I felt the start of a little vibration that I had never felt before. My 1st guess was it seemed to be in the primary.
This mornings little ride into town I was actually going after some primary fluid so I could pull the cover off and do an inspection...which is 4 miles each way to and from town. The vibration I was feeling yesterday decided to show it's ugly face before I could get it back home.
I'm glad it decided to start to self destructing only a 1/2 mile from the house. At least the gears look to be all good.
I talked to Fred (the guy that did my heads and t/body) and I'm going to send him my gear set and he is going to have the gears back cut and the bearings will be replaced with ceramic bearings. He mentioned something about having the gears Micro Blued too.
When this all goes back together I will be using my solid front sprocket to replace the SE comp and a Bandit clutch to compliment it all.

On a side note:
I want to say congratulations to Jim (Strokerjlk) for taking 1st place in the bagger class today at Martin Michigan in the AMRA drags.
Well done Jim !!!

Zach

not really sure Zach. When I pulled the gear set there was the remains of that clip and some shiny metal slivers in the bottom of the housing.
Fred is going to magna-flux the gears and check the shaft to make sure they aren't bent. He will be replacing the weak factory second gear too.
The gear set that will return to me should be race ready.

All along in the back of my mind I've been wondering when this monster motor was going to start breaking other parts.

That's not a criticism, it's pure jealousy. LOL. I'm a fan of what your are doing.

 just when I think I'm moving forward...this happens.
This will set me back now from being able to ride any time soon. 
There is no quick fix to this one.

Yes there is call Baker have a 7 speed sitting there by the end of the week 

[No Cents]

 that's the quick fix Brian. 
I'm half tempted to.

Ray

[No Cents]

 Nick...I've been told that Baker won't warranty a DD7 behind an engine like mine. 
I'm not as lucky as you and be able to get one replaced under warranty.
With my luck...I'd be pissin 2K in the wind if I broke it.

Hot rods don't come cheap.  ;-)

I'd say in this case you are presented with an opportunity to apply a bit more insurance.

 

Didn't see that Jim won the class, ....  edit  ....

Didn't see that Jim won the class, I saw he blew his trans up too.  He got it fixed??

Won the dresser class . I haven't ever had any transmission problems . Don't be jinxing me .
Ray sorry to hear about the trans . Bert is a sponsor of AMRA . I am sure he would take care of you if you dropped the coin .
I saw 2 R&D trans break the dogs this weekend . Nothing is bullet proof .
I know where a 2009 trans is , if ya wanna ride this summer while ya wait on R&D

[No Cents]

 does anyone know where that clip that came off exactly went?
The gear set looks to be unhurt to me.
I might be able to just replace that clip and the main bearing and put it back together.

Congrats Jim! 

Ray

[FSG]

looks like part of a securing segment, you'll have to disassemble the gearset to find out which one

[No Cents]

do you know where I can find a pdf...or an exploded view of a 2008 6 speed tranny?
The service manual is pretty vague.
