At Waterford we were using the WCP DS Gearbox. We ended up destroying a dog gear, an axle, a shaft collar, and the mounting block.

At Pittsburgh we decided to get rid of that problem and used WCP SS gearboxes. Part of the problem was with the 11t pinions we were using not quite meshing with the other gears. I wasn't there so I can't say exactly what else happened but I believe the CIMS broke through the mounting hole that has 2 positions for the different sized pinions and spread away from the gear.

All that aside, we're ready to come out to Livonia with fixes and improvements and hopefully perform better than ever.
