I'm retarded! trashed my th350
 
Well i finally got my car back together last night and when i got drive it the shifter feels weird. when i shift into third it feels like it stays in second. i get gas and head back to the house. i jack it up and notice i forgot to tighten the nut on the shifter arm. :bang:
so i tighten it up and the shifter now feels firm like it use to. BUT when i shift into third i hear a horrible screeching noise and the car stops. :cry:
I guess the tranny was stuck between second and third long enuff to hurt somethin.
I just got back from dropping the tranny off at my tranny guys shop. hopefully he'll give me call tomorrow with a not so big bill. Oh well more $$$ down the drain cause of a stupid mistake.

OUCH!! :(

Hopefully it will be any easy fix.

yeah first and second felt perfect. I don't know much about autos but since its a RMVB i think only third uses the band. i'm thinkin thats what got trashed.reverse also worked great.

Didn't you just get the motor back together after trashing it on a stupid mistake? Must be nice Mr. Moneybags. Either you beat the living shit out of that car or you just have really bad luck. Get that sucker fixed and running good. Looking for some track times from you man.

Yeah i just did replace my motor and now fixin the tranny. Motor was $1,000 and getting tranny kixed is $300. for a total of $1300. non too shabby. I guess i'll just have to sell some of my spare parts to get some of that $$$ back.
And "Mr Moneybags"? I wish. Credit cards can be a car nuts best friend.
