Found out that the fluid was half a quart low so that might of caused it

Hopefully nothing else fudged up in the process



Damn GM ASE certified technicians don't know how to put enough fluid in the tranny

You can over fill it a little bit. It will burp out whatever fluid it doesn't need through the overflow.

I have a friend of a friend . . . (I'll leave names and builders out of the thread)

he has a 97-98 Camaro and a Circle D converter. No bolt-ons .. . . STOCK with an ARD tune.

He's on transmission #4 from a "reputable" builder.

Yeah i heard about that... yet there are guys that have had their tranny for 2+ years.

I guess its a hit or miss with them but... when your buying a tranny you don't want a hit or miss lol... luckly it comes with a 1 year unlimited mile warrenty

I couldn't pass up the deal they were giving one day so i just bit the bullet and took it. Paid 835 for their lvl 3 build.

he got in on the same deal . . . he's yet to reach 300 miles . . .
the "shop" to Galveston - over heated and puked - towed back to shop from Galveston.
the other 3 times have been from the shop to his house, and that's it . . . . didn't make it any farther . . .
