Not real common but it happens enough that I see it now and then and it seems the 00-03 model years are the worst for this. Unfortunately if the band is broken it means a complete overhaul as it is one of the last parts to come out of the case.

Thks for your support you hit it right on the button thats what it was, do you know if there is a revised upgrade or are they still manufacturing the same band. Again thank you, alot the shop showed me the 1" piece. So I know I'm not getting the run around, keep up your forum support.
