It's because the ring gets left out. there is no part # or picture in the exploded view in the manual. 3 of 4 transmissions that I had broke that way. You must put a 3/8 wide steel ring which can just be a strip of bar steel welded together, you put it on the out put shaft before you put the out put flange on the back of the transmission. without it you won't be able to tighten the center bolt with out pulling it up to tight and interference between the bolts will shatter it again. I wrote an article in convoy magazine specifically about it. Can anyone scan the article and send you it?
