Default Cooked my 80e. FLT?

It looks like my 80e could not take the relentless beatings and is starting to slip into 2nd. So much for doing my exhaust upgrade now.

Who's running an FLT level 3 or 4? How do you like it? Anybody have an 80e built by someone else? Opinions are welcomed.

On the bright side, my G80 is solid!

Check out Ace Racing Transmissions, seems theyve been getting a good rep here lately.

...Ok, it's transmission fluid in there. The G80 has the syrup.

I thought the 80E was the end-all of transmission problems?

Was yours built, and how long did it survive?
