i am somewhat pissed that this 4th m46 took a crap on me, more frustrated really, i knew it was coming, just have to deal with it. the mainshaft out the back split in half.. i took the liberty of finishing off the trans myself.

dissapating my frustration, more like the "this is going in the trash so let's see if i can break it" video :-P

video no worky

[MrDoug]

It's weird how clean & straight the break is- it looks like someone cut it on a bandsaw.

[volvo940tuner]

ope nevermind, it works now

[volvoluvin]

What kinda HP are you putting down?

i already have a WC T5 from a mustang gt, just waiting on adapter stuff from BNE.

last time i checked it was 220whp and 272wtq, maybe more now, i will dyno again at carlisle.. it makes a buttload of low and high end torque.

Cuz auto's are no fun.

[500dollar744ti]

Cuz auto's are no fun.

i agree, just my opinion though. it is nothing for me to swap in another m46, $75 at the junkyard and an hour later, good to go again... it does get old, i will be happier with a t5.

shearing forces do interesting things.

atleast now you have a nice pretty clutch alignment tool?

wrong side of the trans. i would need the front part of the shaft to break for that.

good thought though. :lol:

[Raz]

****, I kept reading input shaft... d'oh

[500dollar744ti]

****, I kept reading input shaft... d'oh

that was my initial guess, it was the mainshaft that broke, but the rear part.

[norcal505]

dont listen to them and do a autotragic.
props for the t5.

Then go to the JY, get another, and hope for the best! :nod:

What are you going to do with those empty cans of BG MOA?

[500dollar744ti]

keep 'em until the BG distributor comes back... they have little plastic coins in them that you get $0.25 or $0.50 from the distribution guy, a lot of cans=few extra dollars for gas.

Well that works just fine as well :)

[towerymt]

...another m46, $75 at the junkyard...
$90 now....time to cut down on the transmission replacement frequency.

I cut the big end off the rod tonight and it got a lot lighter. Should work out well. ;-)

[qwkswede]

Funny story. That same part lives on the trophy shelf at my dad's house. It was 1976, and he had a customer out on a test drive in a brand new Volvo 264. While demonstrating the awesome torque with an aggressive launch, ie sliding your foot off the side of the clutch pedal. The car just jerked a couple inches, and then made the rest of the trip back to the dealership on a tow truck. I swear, the part looks identical. It is a clean shear that looks machined.

good work on the 13 second pass

[bullitt210]

I used to deal with frustration like that...then I had to have hernia surgery....

[500dollar744ti]

eh, i had been wanting smash up an m46 for a long time, i did the effort more for the video but the point is moot... i now have a v8 t5 in my 740. :)

[242DownLow]

how much does the adapter cost now?

[500dollar744ti]

^^^i got mine from the triangle man, you will have to get in contact with him and find out the current price, i got mine in the first batch he started making.

[Krunk Fu]

lol

[242DownLow]

does triangle man hate particle man? when there's a fight does triangle man beat particle man?

[lovethellama]

they have a fight, triangle wins.

[Lord_Athlon]

Triangle man. Accordian solo. Universe man, size of the entire universe man.

Sorry for the threadjack...but BG is still doing this huh..?
I have about 30 of those from over 10 years ago...
I might have to find a BG distributor local to me..

you will get less than $10, but i guess if it is really worth it to you...
