[Shotimes] broken PP torque strap

[Ian Fisher]

So what about winding out first gear and then popping over to third?

Missing that second gear option :(
Still driving the 300ZX TT though :)

    Yeah, you don't want to keep driving it if that's the problem.  High
rpm shifts (or miss-shifts) can cause that.  Lots of centrifugal load
when it's spinning real fast.  Also powershifting, or real aggressive
shifting that put a lot of fast "shock load" on it.

The rivets that hold the stock straps are sorta weak in that area, and
sheer, the strap swings out and acts like a saw.  I broke one on my 92
years back, beat up the inside of the case, but was lucky it didn't cut
into any "wet" area's of the tranny.
