Keith, had a section I am under the impression that Jerico was sold to a different company recently, supposedly now they even accept credit cards! A couple of years ago, when I broke the Jerico in my Mustang, there was a lot of collateral damage caused by chunks flying around inside, and getting caught up between the rotating gears. One item damaged was the input shaft, which had a section broken off at the snap ring groove where the front main drive gear slides onto the input. This was in 2014, and I had no problem ordering a new input shaft. (It is a 1 3/16x18 MoPar hemi spline, with Ford pilot tip, and 5.0 Mustang length, which is about 1" longer than a input for an older SB Ford using mechanical clutch linkage. However, last summer, a local racer bought a used Jerico (Chevy application), and when he called Jerico to order the same 5.0 Mustang/MoPar input I had bought 2 years earlier, Jerico told him they no longer offered that input. Like you said, Keith, if everything is made "in house" , why can they no longer make this input shaft for a paying customer? I hope this is not a sign of things to come, as I have 2 older Jerico DR4`s I would like to keep going, and buying a new DR4-4 at $4600.00 (less shifter), is not in the budget.
