That high force "snap" during shifting is what causes the breakage.

Okay that really helped out. to be honest i think i will just lock the tranny up to avoid all of theses potential issues. I really cant even think of a con of locking it up. Other than no cool shifting sound but that was mainly the nitro engine anyway. Thanks for all the help everyone. I now understand.
