We broke two cases until we went with McClay with the strut on it for the Corvette. No problems since.

The brace on the pass side is a must have item....If you really want to sleep at night call Leo G. For the replacement bell housing. Money well spent and far superior to the factory metric case.....

Worked on a KS/A with a Metric 200 and I remember calling a trans guy to see if that brace needed to be there. Never saw anything like that before. I left it after being told DO NOT TOUCH IT!

We do run a brace, and haven't had a problem in 3 years.

This is kind of off topic but still a metric question. Has anyone ever broke a rear end gear set and as a result hurt the transmission, specifically a metric 200?
