Blew my Tranny because of a servo!!
Well here is the run down... my cam,headers,410 gear come in on monday... i take it to my dads shop and everything but the gears are installed on wednesday so i take the truck to go the exhaust done (3' full exhaust with a dynamax bullet
) then after that i take it to flaco to go get it tune which ran great by the way. so the next day i take it back to my dads shop installed the 410's and then we put the servo in exactly how it is suppose to be put in. i drive around the block and its shifting pretty firm but nothing drastic to how it was shifting after flaco tuned it. so i leave from houston goin down 225 get of on the beltway and once i get on red bluff it just stops shifting. i give it a little gas in it just revs up? i pull over and oil is leaking pretty bad were the servo was put in. we look underdeath and the servo is still in place a little bulged out but the around the servo the transmission case is cracked!
basically it was a horrible friday and i have no idea why this happend? any suggestions to why this happened? bad news is im out of a truck for a couple days... good news is we are gonna go head and put a 3500 stall and look for a new tranny cause i doubt the tranny is fixable?
