I cant catch a break. i was shifting into 2nd ( ok, i was SPEED shifting) and as soon as i grabbed 2nd and let the clutch out, it sounded like the R/P broke as it would go nowhere in any gear. I have a 1776cc, 044s, 110 cam, 40 dells so i never thought it would break the trans. The trans is a 4.37 R/P ( I know, I should have listened) super diff, SAW axles. I talked to my friend/builder Shawn Moore about sending it to him and getting it fixed already. However, this is my daily driver and I have to have it running to get around. Does anyone know of any working swingaxle transmissions layin around that i can maybe borrow/rent/buy in the Sacramento area? I am very lenient and appreciative to any help i can receive at this time. Thanx all and stay away from 4.37 Ring and Pinions.

there was a SA tranny on Samba a couple of weeks ago. Used, supposed to be rebuilt out to the drums. Stock etc....do a search on Samba, it was in the Sac area.

It is highly unlikely you blew up the R&P with less than 100hp. Did you check to see if you stripped the splines on one of the brake drums? |

Thats good advice Sam, check the splines before you do anything. I stripped the splines out of my right rear drum many moons ago, and the first thing I thought-- "DAMN, just busted the tranny." |

I agree with Bruce I'd be looking else where starting with the rear drums. By any chance had you recentley removed the rear axle nuts for any reason? |

Same here, i've gernaded a trans with a 1600 and baby dells. It doesn't necessarily take HP to break the trans, just some oopsy-daisy clutch work.  |

I didn't say a 1776 couldn't blow up a gearbox, I said only the R&P. And I only said that because he's telling everyone that 4.37 R&Ps are so weak they can't withstand a 1776. |

Thnx all for replying. Sorry I havent gotten on til now. I have been putting the car back together all day and just got home. I was under the assumption that the RP broke because i called shawn right after it happened and described what would happen if i tryed to drive forward. Although he thought it was the R/P, it turns out i should have checked the drums as I stripped BOTH of them. a simple 2nd scratch is what did it. ( young and stupid.) The driver side drum was completly smooth and the pas. side had half of the teeth gone. i bought these drums because of a brake and light insp. i had to go through with the car as the ones on the car didnt have enough thickness. I should have asked questions and shopped around  I sure am glad that what I thought happened didnt happen. I always expect the worse so i guess i came out lucky. Shawn has been nothing but helpful. This trans is beyond BAD A$$ and hasnt given me any trouble whatsoever.

Mr. Tweddle, My understanding is that 4.37 RP is the weakest RP out there. Shawn even recommended a 3.88 or "o" 4.12 but i settled with the 4.37 because it was in the tranny when i got it. Now when my transmission breaks ( at least thats what i thought), my first thought is "ok, if anything were to break in this tranny, what would it be? and that is what i asked shawn. I explained what the trans was doin once i put it in gear and upon brief examination(another DOH! on my part)a broken RP seemed to be what happened.I didnt mean to bash 4.37s, i just thought it was the first logical thing to go wrong in the drivetrain. Every time something like this happens, i learn something new and havent made the same mistake twice, so far. But Im still a newby and a young'n(just turned 19). thanx for the advice |

Correction. I blew one R&P. the other was the gears behind the sideplate. |
