People, No one is saying the tranny snap caused this. All we are saying is it's possible that the sudden jolt could have effected (damaged or sheared) the cam pin. The car ran great for about 500+ miles after the tranny failure. The torque in the single cam bolt held the cam gear to the cam until mike power shifted and it couldn't hold anymore.

It's only a hypothesis but it makes total sense.

If I were anyone else that experienced the output shaft failure, I'd be inspecting the pin if I had an oem or aftermarket single bolt cam.
