Default Stock tranny's with nitrous and high mileage.

Just curious. How many of you have STOCK (auto.) transmissions, have over 60k miles and use nitrous every now and then?? How's it holding up? Thanx.

I have 89,xxx miles and my tranny is holding up fine. I try not to use nitrous through the shifts but I have accidentally used it through the shifts about 5-10 times with a 100 shot. I did just change my converter and my old converter had some minor scratches on it, if that has anything to do with anything??
Hey GrapeApe Whats a rear sprag?

Im on my 3rd tranny this year, I have heads and cam plus TNT 150. This one in it now has a transgo shift kit in it and its taking an assbeating like a champ. I spray on everything I won't run stuff without the bottle.

the rear sprag is a very weak link on these trannys and is the hardest part to get at
if you want these trannys to hold update the front and rear planet gears to 5 pinion
and the sprag to the corvete type--i've had my tranny out 5 times this summer
so i'm fairly sure of what i'm talkin about --my car is a low to mid 11 on motor-and i have broke all of the above
