Re: Help With My Super Bee
Tim (CanCOPO) had a minor catastrophic failure in the torqueflite this weekend. Not sure yet exactly what happened but the tail shaft housing exploded. The main case looks to be intact, thank god but the tail shaft housing is toast, more like croutons. Any help in locating a correct tail shaft housing ASAP would be greatly appreciated. PM or email
Thanks

Is that the park "gear" showing? - The cog that the parking pawl engages with?
Possibly an accidental shift into park when the car was moving? |

Re: Help With My Super Bee
Could be. I'm not a Mopar guy.
He said he had felt some vibration the past couple of days. Was just driving along and them POW. I know he didn't shift it into park when it was moving. When I put it in park now it still rolls free. Needs a tail shaft housing for sure.

Might be a good time to convert to a 4-speed manual trans!

It would probably be a good idea to take a look at that driveshaft...I'm far from a transmission guy, muchless a Mopar transmission, but a driveshaft vibration may have wiped that rear bearing/bushing and then the slop broke the housing, or maybe it just kept gaining slop allowing the driveshaft to move and break the housing? Kind of a "chicken or the egg" scanario, lol...bummer, but it could have been worse! I've seen cars pogo on their driveshaft from broken driveline parts, not pretty... |

Re: Help With My Super Bee
Could have been much worse. Drive shaft will be balanced and installed with new joints.
Absolutely it’s under warranty. Charlie always gives a 12mo/12k warranty with all his survivor cars........you didn’t know that? Also, I found a tail shaft housing should be here Wed.

Re: Help With My Super Bee
I actually sent him a PM telling him I will cover it. It was supposed to be just a good old car.
