Brad Zaskowski has broken 3rd in his Jerico 5 times, he reported on his Facebook page, after he lost in the 5th round at Joliet, due to a broken third gear ( he has an in-car video of it breaking) Charlie Westcott told him not to burnout in 3rd, it is the least supported area of a Jerico 4-speed. Oh, and Charlie said to do burnouts in 4th gear.

I suspect those that have excessive base and / or counterweight are prone to breakage at any point on the track, even on the burnout. Of corse "excessive" is a matter of opinion, but the more pressures that are applied, the harder it is on everything.

The only thing I've ever broke in a jerico is 3rd gear also. Must be the weak link on them. I also do a 3rd gear burnout. Its one hell of trans though, the torture we put them through lol.

I had a couple that had done this after many years of service. It was impossible to get the correct gear engagement. It would be too deep in one dog and barely catching the other.
