Default No forward gears.

I launched at the track on the bottle it hooked and the tranny let go right past the 60 ft. mark. I lost all forward gears and just have reverse. It's a new "built" tranny anybody have any ideas what let go today before i take it in?

If it was still in 1st gear when it cratered, it could have easily lost the low roller clutch... commonly referred to as the rear sprag.

How big of a shot did you hit it with?

Good to hear he will take care of you, Not much more you can ask. May have just been a weak part or something , Good luck getting her going again.

Well I know it can be frustrating getting the right combination dialed in.

Sometimes 1/2 of that battle is having confidence in the guys you are working with. Sounds like you are in good hands. Good luck with it now and in the future.

Dropped the car off today and he said it didn't sound good at all and was real disappointed that it didn't hold up like it should so hopefully he will take care of me.
