common problem?

[regalman2go]

Found this in what was suppose to be a fresh transmission, looks like it broke right on the weld, can you get the drum new or ??

That type of failure is very rare and is usually related to poor weld quality.We sell a replacement drum for $15.00 and the sprag if it damaged for $22.99.It is very unlikely you will ever see that happen again.

Thanks chris, I plan on an order from you as soon as the holidays are done. The large OD frictions are black hazed... would this breakage cause that>?
