It seems that it is a common occurrence to hear of someone with a TD or
TF breaking an axle shaft. This would lead one to believe that the
original axle shafts are marginal in strength or resistance to fatigue
failure. Many in the T series community have done something to increase
the power of their engine, whether it be supercharging or tuning by some
other means. If the axle shafts are inherently weak, then how do these
hopped up street cars or racers fair? Do they break axle shafts with
regularity? Perhaps the currently available shafts have much better
strength due to better design or metallurgy.
Is there anyone on the list who races his TD or TF or has done something
to substantially increase the power? What have you done to avoid broken
shafts? If they are available, who supplies stronger shafts and
approximately how much power can they handle?
