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

[Everett Vassar]

What does the brace look like,and where does I t go?

[Bob Don]

I cracked two before going to an ultra bell.

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?

[Kenny Wigington]

Turbo Action also has a bellhousing for Metric 200. Check with them.

Common problem not only related to TH200's. Anytime you tear a ring & pinion out, it's a good idea to drop the pan on the trans at the same time. Banging from the rear end often causes roller clutch (sprag) failure.

Would think cracking the bell is caused by stress from chassis flex.
There is ET in a stiff chassis.

Where/when will you notice the failure? I put new gears in the car just so I can move it. I started the car up and just went forward and reverse to put it in the garage and nothing seemed out of whack. Ill definitely drop the pan, would I feel a difference in higher gears?
