Default New Spoiler...and blown trans

I just put on the chin spoiler from ACI. I got it from a friend. I filled all the cracks with resin, sanded it down smooth and painted it with black truck bed liner. I think it loooks alright. I took these pics at the shop cause I blew my trans last night taking out a turbo 240Z, a built RX-7 and then a Supra,(it felt like WWII) so its in for a rebuild. Hey, at least I took them all out. I hope to be driving it by this weekend... I hope.

Yeah, I was on the freeway when I noticed I had no 4th and now 2nd feels a little week too. Sucks. Youre fixing yours soon? Too much power son, too much power.

No but you kill the stock 10 bolt quicker with the m6.


Ok just curious, I put my car in reverse then when I go to put it in Drive i have to wait a second and I can feel it in the car when it goes into gear, now between first and second it is a short gear and takes a bit to shift to second and when it shifts into each gear it is a pretty solid shift, now also when i was racing the other week i was good up to 4th gear then when I would put the car into over drive it wouldn't shift into 4th right away i had to let off the gast then it would get into 4th... is my tranny on its way out?

I know Extreme does good work but a friend of mine who use to build trannys in pro-mod sport compact is doing me this favor and hooking me up or else Id be up **** creek. His name is Jerry so I guess I'll be saying I have a "Jerry Built C5". ???? Confuse the ricers.

LOL. Crazy, I blew mine at the top of 2nd at WOT and since that band also holds 4th, no 4th. Hey Im good though, in two years I drag raced it, autocrossed it did 160mph, 150mph, 140mph all the time. For a stocker it held up... with a 3600 stall too.

thats cool, a nice stall and a shift kit and it'll be sick, BTW how do you do an M6 swap on a vette, it seems like it would be alot harder.

I got the Transgo kit already and my Yank 3600 so after this rebuilt it should be ready for some serious action.



Thnx Raptor.

First check your fluid level and condition, If the level is ok then it does sound like your trans is on its way out.
