[Shotimes] ATX axle seal replacement with a bearing

[Kirk Doucette]

I sell them.. Try this go out and grab your pass side axel and wiggle it..
The internal shaft on the trans with the axel will wobble.. What do you
think this does under a slight amount of TQ?

Kirk:
 Where can you get this upgrade? I did not know ANY ATX SHO was breaking
axles? The only ones were the SC MTX cars? The normal failure mode of this
transmission is internal and not due to axle movement?
