I believe like already mentioned, stock gears and 35's are stressing the trans more than normal

Just heard some news from the trans shop. He just told me that the trans over heated and blew trans fluid out of the over flow line, he beleives that with it over heating it caused that to happen.

Waiting for another call as to what he going to do, as far if he will cover it or not.

like John said- I hope you have a cooler, especially now that you have a stall.

I do have a trans temp, stock trans cooler.

Yeah it normaly runs at 180°-200° that day it jumped to 250°+ and that's why I pulled over and called for a tow.
