Wow, sorry to hear.  First time I've heard of this particular issue on the SHO.

Ya me either but it must be covered under warranty. They ordered a whole new pto without calling me first

Crazy, hope it gets fixed quickly and should be covered by the 60k drive train warranty.

Is yours a PP (on tapatalk) with the cooler?

What do you mean on tapatalk? And no mine isnt

 

[SHOdded]

At least that's a relief!  Press 'em for any details you can get   Could just be the statistical anomaly that landed in YOUR car.

Tapatalk doesn't display sigs, so Rich didn't know if yours was listed as a PP SHO.

Tapatalk is an app that allows easy access and use of the forum via a phone or tablet. Much easier to upload pics this way and the app makes it easier to read on the portable devices, instead of the Web page look on their small screens.

Tapatalk doesn't bring up people's sigs though, so I can't see the details of your car.

Gotcha. Ya I only use tapatalk so I hadn't a clue.

If on your desktop or laptop, basically everyone has a list of mods done to car, details of year and NON/PP, and most have times they've posted at the dragstrip.

Did you ever check the fluid in it?

I recall you having shifting issues before?

May have found the root to your problems .

The shifting issues were resolved with a different tune. And also when I messed with shift hardness I couldn't increase or I would run into that problem again. As long as it was around stock or around little better it easy fine

 

[SHOnUup]

Leads me to believe this was your issue. You went from Livernois to Torrie?



Rich

 

[brandont]

Yes but haven't had the problem in a while

 

[brandont]

I guess there was a big hole.... they could see the gears

 

[SHOnUup]

Did you get to return it to stock tune before it going in?

Rich

 

[brandont]

No. The dealership knows it's tuned. Being as it's been in before for the axles popping out... which there was a recall on. But I have a 3 bar so I can't run a stock tune

It's easy to swap in the 2 bar. I keep mine in the trunk incase of issues.

 

[SHOnUup]

Carry my 2 bar in car with tool to change...just in case

[brandont]

Ya not sure what happened to mine lol

Is your car Performance Package equipped? Have you ever service the PTU with fresh lube?

It's not surprising, really. I'm sure your PTU just cooked its oil, like they seem to unanimously do, and with completely degradation of the oil, the bearings overheated and failed. When a case fails outright, isn't uncommon for them to essentially explode. The carnage from the PTO failure in my Speed6 was quite spectacular.
