they're not too hard to install

are you sure that the case is cracked, and it's not just the groves where the snap ring goes in?

when you put the servo in, did you have the center spring around the pin?

Damn, so not installing the ring properly will cause the tranny to crack the case...??

What actually causes- wouldn't it have to be pressure built-up to crackt he case?

Man, sucks that happened, and thanks for sharing. I was going to do this mod MYSELF, which is a scarey thought! lol

there are three grooves in the case and if the snap ring doesnt go in all the way, the case will crack. just take your time, and make sure it is all the way in.
