That sounds like what happened to my tranny the first time, the one I spent 2k on getting built like a brick **** house supposedly. As he was trying to pull seazed parts out he was telling me I destroyed an indestructable transmission. Then I come back 2 weeks later and get handed my keys and a $401 bill. You would think from the **** build of the first one he could of at least made it $400 even. Oh well .. I guess that's what I get for letting him do it.

well decided to go ahead and have a trany built. they told me it will hol up to 700 horse power. got a 3 year warranty to go with it just in case. getting all new internal race clutches, and a heavy duty sun gear , and sun shield, among other things. thats what desintigrated in mine causing the trans to lock up and snap the out put shaft, AGAIN. but hell thats what i had been trying to make happen so i can have it done right. also getting a programmable transgo shift kit. told me ill be able to bark 2nd and also 3rd gears. if and when this happens ill be shure to vid that also . also replacing a couple of other things along with the important things. dont have the list in front me, but when i get it back(probably wed at the earliest) ill be sure to post exactly all that was done, and give an update on how it drives. ::

Cottman kicksass (around West Houston and up here at least). I had them fully build my Ford AOD and install the TransGo/Billets great service, nice people, and know what you are asking for. I won't take trans business elsewhere.
