Default Blown 80E

well just got back from the track and was dissapointing I made 2 runs which in none of the 2 could go in 2nd gear. the first one i thought my shift point was too high, but on the 2nd one it just neutralized when shifting out of first.

good thing of the night is that i got my 60' back 1.50

ohh well, there goes another 80e

I am not suprised to be honest
If it were me I would go ahead and give Vince a call at FLT
I saw I missed your call
I would call now but worried it may be alittle late LOL

Sorry to hear that What was done to the 80E's that you keep blowing up? Did you have the transgo stg 2 **** kit with the heavy duty clutch springs, and sprag?
