Grenaded my transmission

[KellysCuda aircard]

Wouldnt you know it, last race of the year up here and the poor transmission gives up the ghost. At least it didnt oil down the track. Check out the little bit of air under the front tire on the launch..heh  heh heh, not bad for 3:55 gearing and a 3000 stall convertor and pump fuel. The first clip is warmin up the tires and the second is the launch that killed the trans. The place that built the transmission has the car now and I think while its apart I will through in a trans brake.

At least it lasted all summer. Gives you a lot of time to fix it. By the way, cool videos!

Ouch.  I did see the light though, imagine if it would have held!

Misery loves company. I'm glad I'm not the only one to blow a tranny this year.

My trans guy just called and said the sprag exploded...lol.. oh well. get er fixed for next season.

I guess it beats grenading in July!  Our season is too short to lose a couple of weeks (like with my driveshaft and diff fiasco this year)

Hey, I did the same thing!! 

  Did it crack your tranny case too??

I like the "day light" under the front tires.  Next time maybe we will see some bumpper draging.

To bad about your trans.  It will be back better and stronger than before.

Nope...case was ok...whew

[Street_Challenged73]

Yikes, that sucks.  The air you got was really cool, though.

Congrats !! Power doesn`t seem to vbe an issue at least , to bad but at least it is the right time of year , did you have a bolt in sprag or a square roller type ? or just stock ?

[KellysCuda aircard]

Hmmm....didnt know there was more than one type. But I will find out.

[kudakidd]

Another good reason to have a 4 speed!

[Jacksboys]

Looked like that would have been a great run down the track.  Sorry to hear about your trans.

[tactransman]

or a square roller type ?

Make sure you have a low band apply. (all transbrakes should so if you go that route you should be fine) I bet ya a nickel it hurt the sprag in the burn out,do you use low gear for the burn out?
