I would ask if that is a Delco planet? If its the cheap knock off one tell him you'll pay for the better one! I have seen the aftermarket ones grenade in less than six months or be severely worn in that amount of time. Vince

Okay I miss understood my trans guy, the planetary did not go he put a 5 pinion gear while he was in there. Come to find out it was a factory defect. No signs of heat stress or stress of that matter. I quick took some pics with my phone cause the part had to go back to the manufacturer.
