TRNW-2: 68RFE broke input

[Wayne]

The only way I’ve been able to get the shaft out of the converter, is to drill and tap a hole in the pilot, off to the side, use a bolt to push it out.

The broken pieces will get lodged into the torque converter and many times you will not get it out.  The shaft will damage the pump also at times.  When I see that, they pay for all those parts, no warranty, but all my deleted and tuned guys know how I warranty them, it's very limited.
