    Dont get me started on elite transmissions. Their 500hp driveshafts snapped more than we can shake a stick at not twist nope sheared snapped of. (4 out of 8 to be precise)
    When we questioned them abouth materials and heating process they couldn't even answer it indicating either someone else made them or they didnt want to publicise spec.

      It's under construction. Have to test it in my own car before (when/if) it's going to be for sale. So it's going to take some time.

        Got a good deal on a Jonus dragbox(1-4) that I'm picking up today. Good luck with your geat set, and let us know how it goes..

          Some update to this story.
          Got mail from DHL last week that (PAR) has sent me a package.
          Got it yesterday and this was in the box:





          It's a larger spline shaft (Chevy) to replace the broken original size shaft.

          Unfortunately can't put it to the test right now because got our own larger spline shaft ready and in the car last weekend. So I'm driving with that rest of this fall. Which is going to be short because there is no traction due to the cold weather.

          Our own shaft on the right:



          But eventually PAR came through and made things right.
          But my year/season was ruined no matter.
          Have to thank you PAR anyway, I didn't even ask for the new shaft.

              Sorry, everything is in use. We only made our own clutch shaft, everything else is PAR in the gear box for now.

                Good to see that they pulled around with their customer service. Doesn't sort your lost time but at least they replaced off their own back.

                  iam running custom PAR gearset and sss shifter in the rallycar and had no probs at this stage and the dealings ive had with him have been excellent , he would be genuinely hurt by the fact that a failure had occurred , and doesn't surprise me that he sent an improved shaft
                  thanks

                      What Chevy is it from?

                      Did you make also the gear set or only the main shaft?

                        It has 26T Chevrolet spline (I think Nissan Skyline has the same).
                        We made only main shaft for now. Had to get car running fast before the snow comes down. So could get some tuning/testing done before winter.
                        Record braking is out of the question because the asfalt is so cold already.

                          I see, keep going! Is there any info on what's need to be done to the Chevy shaft in order to fit?
