well i think i just cooked my th350 Friday, cruising on the high way ttops off old school Ferrari braking neck and when i get home car wouldn't move had. to rev 4k to get it moving in to the drive way. i think it was over heated next day drove pretty normal but lil slipping on first.

i don't think so unless i trailer the t/a up there. i don't want to hurt the trans and have to tow it down. if anything i might just enter the show and call it a day there's a show and bracket racing right. never been to that event before. there was an even at county line this weekend too but i herd of it too late...
