Well tonight it was cool out, and I was heading down to my college (30 minutes away) to bring out the car. I caught a light and decided I'd give it a little more throttle this time. I got sideways going into second a bit early (26'' Hoosiers shifting at 6200) and pedaled it back around. Short shifted into third (5500) and let off the pedal. Unfortunately it looks like the input shaft or converter let go before I did.
No gears, but I still have park and neutral. Well 5 neutrals.
So, converter? Input shaft? Pump? The car still starts up just fine, spins just fine, and I can put the car in park and it won't move anywhere. Underneath the drive shaft and rear are fine.
I knew this trans was toast behind the new motor, I just thought it would last for a little longer without spraying the car.
For the guys running their cars on the street or under prepped tracks, how are you doing with the trans brake?
