Default Damage report

I finally found out today what was damaged in my tranny. The pump is broke but my builder says it can be repaired. The reverse input drum is no good. The rest of the trans is ok. I'll be ordering the rebuild kit within the next day or two. PEACE OUT>Tony

Default On the move again!

Finally got my parts today and took them straight over to my builder. He said he should have the trans put back together by friday. As added insurance I picked up a heat treated imput drum,also got the Transgo shift kit. Can't wait to get it back in and take the TurboNoma for it's first spin. This time I'll make double sure the converter is in good and proper. PEACE OUT>Tony

I picked up my trans this past friday and I'm getting ready to install it this week. My builder said it should take whatever I throw at it. I don't have a camera right now cause the wife took it with her on her trip to Florida.Yesterday I cleaned the case and painted it along with the converter. Maybe now I will finally get to take it for a spin. PEACE OUT>Tony

Default Trans report

So the trans is back in. I added the oil and let it warm up. After that I put it in gear and it started moving forward. At least I know the trans is engaging. I'll be making a test run and reporting how it goes. PEACE OUT>Tony

Well I took it out for test run and the tranny is working fine. Now I have to begin the tuning phase. It felt really good to get it out on the road again after two years. I had to put up with some bad luck along the way but I think it's over for now. PEACE OUT>Tony
P.S. Video to follow soon

Congrats getting it going again. I know how good it feels when you get a project back on track after a big setback like you had.
