Hey Guys, For the first time ever at a Triumph Event, a Triumph left me on the side of the road when the GT6+ snapped the thrust side U-Joint off the diff during the poker run at the TRF Summer Party. At least I got my 3 runs in on the drag strip and autox before she broke. I am going to tell you all a warning for this looks like a clean break, snapped in half, most likely inferior replacement part with less than 2000 miles on it. Not sure for I broke my NOS Speedometer too. Yikes, always something, Huh? Anyone else had one fail like this? Ok I was flogging it a little on the drag strip and autocross but not that bad for all my times sort of sucked. I heard a bad clunk from the rear on my third drag run launch and a small clunk developed after the autox whilst taking up the drive, but nothing to suggest that catastrophic failure was imminent. Someone has said the u-joints with grease jerks are weakened by the hole drilled right in the center. Is that a possibility? Woe is Me, Darrell _______________________________________________
