Bad transmission shop!
I had a friend rebuilding his C4 in his 69. He brought it in to the rebuild shop to have it finished. on the weekend he went to the track with it. On his first run the transmission lost every gear accept 4th. he drove it back to the shop that rebuilt it and it turns out they filled it with motor oil[sm=icon_rofl.gif]! there excuse was "that's what the books called for".

I'm talking about a shop in west Michigan. there arn't any good shops around here. He should have shiped it to Detroit.
My bad, I just talked to him again and it was second that was left. He rebuilt his old C4 to the racing C4 if it matters.

RE: Bad transmission shop!
i still dont see how even putting motor oil in it would of caused it to failthat catastrophically. also many manual transmissions use standard 10w-30 engine oil so its not like its crazy to putit in a tranny. they simply were retardedby puttingit into an auto transmission
