At the Thunder shootout my 12-bolt broke and nearly seized up. Well I just got it fixed only to find out that when it went it took my tranny with it. 1st and Reverse seem to be fine, but when I put it into 2nd or 3rd the tranny locks up. I did gas it pretty hard once and it turned second over but it sounded/felt like forcing binding gears to spin. Needless to say I didn't do that anymore! Anyway, any guesses at what I actually broke? It's about to come out this weekend for inspection, I was just wondering if any of you tranny experts would know which one of the million pieces would let go first. By the way it's a Pro Built Rossler TH400 if that matters.

 

Hey, I'll take a guess....ummm intermidate sprag, or frozen intermidate(burned) clutch,I'd lay money on the sprag...good luck hope this helps Dave

 

It was the planetary.

 

same thing happened to me, except i'll find out tomorrow what went wrong.

 

Hopefully nothing too major, good luck with it.

 

I saw you there and didn't recognize that was you off this board. I talked to you for a few moments about your car and saw your tag was from some non-emissions county.. lol. Glad to see you got it fixed.

Peace,
Josh
