What are you wanting to know? The Omega shaft is built for abuse and very high horsepower applications. Its a pretty expensive route to go but most people wont build the power to break it

my local transmission shop put all suncoast shafts in mine it was very exspensive but I have no regrets I don't worry about my transmission. I think just for the three shafts was almost 2000.

Yeah the Omega shaft with drum and converter is like $3299 then you need to buy the intermediate and out put separately.

I have a question for you. I'm not a transmission guy, my transmission works great but if I dont warm it up in neutral for a couple minutes it will stall my engine. I have a low stall triple disc converter and everything to go with it. Since the build the shop changed a valve to allow fluid to flow to the converter easier when cold. But first thing in the morning you better not be running late. Just wondering if anybody knows of something that will get the fluid moving first thing in the morning.

What fluid do you run in your trans? My guess is with how tight the converter is and if you are using traditonal oil is the problem. Try switching to full synthetic that we flow easier in the morning and still work well when hot
