There went the input shaft

My truck is a 96 dodge manual still with the five speed for now until I can find a six speed somewhere or my five finally gives up, but last Saturday I twisted the input shaft off right behind the clutch. I mean this thing looked like it had a Christmas candy cane twist in it.

I guess that's what happens to us all eventually on the quest for more power. At least now that gave me the opportunity to put in the Mitchell pulling clutch, and the larger input shaft.

Hopefully that will take care of that part of the truck for a while until something further back goes. Plus now I can put my 0 plate in the pump I got from piers.
