alright i was thinkin you were doing your own now. id imagine itd be hard with all the things you had done without having the autocal. i cant justify spending all the money on that and not be able to change anything on my own. could you pm me what your meth costed you? thinking im going to need it

 

been there... sux..... my trans went out and locked up the drive shaft and ripped the teeth off the pinion.. so look on the bright side.. could always be worse... you knew that G80 was gonna pop, what you going with? trutrac?

 

Thats an even shittier situation... Yeah I am putting a true trac in. Will be doing the install today.

 

So we got the true trac in after dicking around with some weird patterns on the gears for like 3 hours...finally got it figured out, started it up and put it in gear and heard a nasty grinding noise from the transmission. So I can only assume at this point that the shock load killed the output shaft on the 60e.

SO: I am completely open to suggestions/recommendations at this point. Do I fix the 60e, get billet shafts and make it the most badass 60e that I possibly can, or just bite another bullet and spend the money on an 80e swap? Aside from having to shell out cash that I don't currently have, I don't have the time to do it so I would most likely have to pay some of my friends to do it. Shitty situation...opinions?

 

If you go the 80e route you won't have to worry as much about it braeking any more. Do it now and be done with it

 

id do the 80e forsure man.. especially since u plan on dropping in a 408 soon...
if only you were closer to south texas... theres a shop that does a 80e conversion for 1200 bucks... and it includes a low mileage 80e.. crazy huh haha...

 

Thats a pretty reasonable price, if only there was a shop like that in AZ. I'd prefer to do the work myself, but school just has me on a time crunch right now.

As for the 80e breaking...I can't say that a shock load released in the drive train wouldn't be enough to break an 80e too. But I will say that I will keep the brake stalling to a minimum as a precaution.
