RE: Tranny broke again
Its so expensive...I only make 150 a week, and im only 18...Its hard to save money and then have the trans go out 4 times...I cant afford it....For your situation...have you considered getting a c-4 then have it pro built, to handle the power... but then again thats what I did...and look what happened, Its hard finding a reputable shop that does a DECENT job, they all say"we've been in the business for 40+years" or "we get the job done right"....but you have a lot into the c4's Id say its time to just go powerglide...Hope you get the situation resolved right...Good luck, and keep it safe.

RE: Tranny broke again
I know that the 6 gear planeterys are pretty good but I have seen a couple fail but they have both been in the same car a big block 69 stang that is very heavy. when you get the C-4 right you wont have alot of problems with them. They do handle big HP I run the one in the wifes car without any problems and get 2 years of racing and street driving out of them before the rebuild for the most was getting 3 years but found that is a bit to long and stuff was getting hurt. But at the same time you are running a bit faster then us right now so we will see how it holds up this year. Good luck let me know what broke as it may help me some time.
