Yo, that was me destroying my tranny. Well Im not sure of the damage yet. The shop is going to open it up on Tues. I have a tranny cooler, servo and 2300-2500 TC in it. I had something similar happen and it was just the stock TC. Hopefully the whole thing doesnt need to be replaced. What a pain in the ***. The look on my gf's face holding the camera was priceless though. Her jaw just dropped. I will post some more when I hear back from the shop.

Mine blew so bad that tranny fluid got all over the truck. First gear into second and boom!!! Look back and the road behind me was filled with smoke. Lucky my house was right down the street. The vette servo flopped out and the case cracked half way
Other little internal damage but not much. Only picture I have is the tow truck pulling my truck away. Wish I had a big horsepower V8 in there I would have written RESULT OF POWER on the hood (dont know how tranny fluid got on there)
