Default not again

unreal... not even 2 months after rebuilding this f*king automatic trans it has eaten another 3/4 clutchpack. this time i was just driving it home and it started slipping and dragging the shifts. fluid level was good, wasn't doing anything crazy and now it's doing the exact same thing as before. I am over this, so an auto trans will NOT be going back in my car. so now I get the lovely task of trying to find a t-56 that I won't get ***-raped for. if nothing else I will throw in this nv3500 I have that I was going to use in my truck. I have a t-5 but those things break if you look at them wrong. so if anyone happens to have a t56 swap setup for a reasonable price message me. but now I'm out of a car again for however long...

I feel your pain, my 375rwhp car is on it's 4th automatic tranny, you'd think it's making 575 to the wheels or that I drag race it every week,
I guess the daily driving really does take a huge toll on these things,
well it seems like I finally found a place that knows what they're doing this time.
Good luck With yours

Pat
