New transmission on its way

[66nova]

Well, I should have upgraded last year when my 4L70 went out, but that whole hindsight thing.

Saturday I was towing my trailer and a 1-2 shift went bang. Felt like I was rearended.

Well as of today a Jakes Performance 4L80e is on its way.

Sucks that this happened. Nobody likes to spend money, but now you will have a bullet proof trans. Just remember to treat it to a good quality synthetic lubricant.

 

[66nova]

Yeah, it sucks, but it happened 5 minutes from the house and I wasn't crossing an intersection or hauling the car down 35.

I just have too much in front and behind this trans to hold up.

 

[Darkanion]

I'm sorry to hear about the screwed up tranny. I guess it figured out where to take a dump.

The situation definitely could've been worse. You could've been up in Ardmore or somewhere, trying to get the Nova back home. I'm sure it'll be better than new when you're done!

Like everyone has said...sucks that it happened, but at least you were close to home.

Very Nice!

Sucks to hear, but is maybe a blessing in disguise.

My 1st and 2nd are slipping. I'll get the kit and billet shafts and hopefully do it myself.

You get you a stage 3? Transbrake?

No. They recommended the stage 2 for mine. No transbrake since I don't plan on ever doing more than a pass or two to see what it will run.

They are also building me a converter.
