Did you have a tranny cooler on it? Did you have a trans temp guage, what was it at?

Give Ken a call, see what he has to say, I'm sure he can help you out.

Ya had a huge cooler on it. Drove it to Wildwood for the car show no problem at all.
Sat nite was on the highway for 10 mins went the problem start. I have a temp gauge but i didnt install it yet. The car is a my friends trans shop hes going to look at tomorrow. Hope it can be fixed for Sunday Clash of the Fbody at Atco racway.

Keep us posted on what you fine, my new 4L60E is bleeding out as well...out of the lil vent on the top of the tranny. Low or full to the top mark it keeps blowing it out.

Can't be getting hot on my car, its doing this whether i'm crusing at 70mph on the highway or city driving

Sounds like it was an easy fix. Probably a goofy seal or something. Get taht temp guage installed though, it could have goten too hot and the seal could have got soft or something and that's why it let go.

It was a metal seal. We think the spacer was to big and made the seal sit to high. But we got it fixed. All ready to go race, just waiting for tires!!

Aah.. that makes more sense. that shoudl knock a good .2 or more off the times too... you'll have that car at 10.50 on motor in no time!

it should Ken really knows his ****. The trans with a nice stall should rock. I still have to try out that trans brake LOL

If I still had a 10 bolt in my car, I'd be pretty hesitant to transbrake launch the car too LOL. The car should be going in end of this month for the motor and tranny swap, so I'm hoping I have it back mid july so I can put some miles on it and get used to it, then it's off to the track, to get kicked out after the first full pass... if anyone's paying attenion anyway
