TH350 Broke I Broke my trans this past weekend... FI car, 14 PSI, trap speed is around 135mph.
I went to the line, staged and mashed the go pedal with trans brake and 2step activated. I swear the car moved backwards then I launched forwarded hard. Ft wheels came up some and then the car nosed over (I think trans slipped some) and then took off again. I spun bad, but was moving out pretty quick. I short shifted to get out of first and the car spun and hooked again. Very bad pass... 130 mph on 12psi and the coolant temp went to 210 by end of race... Now I am hearing a clicking sound and the car feels funny going down the return road.
I get back to the pits and put the car in park. I revved it a little and it jumped forwarded. It does this in all gears selections. Welded forward clutches???
