My transmission was doing something werid and i took so i took it to the transmission shop to see what was going on (just had it rebuilt 2000 miles ago) The shop said that my transmission was burnt up but it was ok to drive just dont drive it to hard(No warrenty on the transmission race application) So i was driving it home and go to take of from a stop light and start rolling backwards. I didnt have 1st or 2nd but i had 3rd so i just took off, looked in my mirror and all i saw was smoke so i pulled over. turns out i lost most of my trans fluid at the stop light. Called the trans shop and they said they could have it towed back in but they dont think it was anything that they did. I was also trying to sell my car and get newer mustang but i dont think any one is going to buy it with the trans being the way it is. So now i dont now if i should just keep my car and do a T-56 swap or try to sell it. What do you guys think.

What other investments do you have in your car?

H/C/I? Supercharger?

To me if you want the newer car really bad go for it. I have taken a beating on cars a couple of times... if you are up in the air think long and hard before you do anything...

To me you have 2 options, Ugrade this one (T56, other) OR junkyard AODE and sell it...
