Blowed it up last night :( Well at least the trans anyhow 
Had some extra time so I pulled it apart this afternoon - never seen a TH350 break the forward clutch drum/input shaft with this little power. It may have been cracked for a while - at least its an easy fix..
But on the plus side I installed the ultra-cool AMW catch can/oil separator before the car stopped moving - what a nice piece..
Kinda sucks, just put the cats on, street tires, washed it, waxed it, changed the oil/trans fluid and was out cruising and the car just stops moving a few days after running 10.90s
Hopefully I'll have it running again in a couple days..

na bos, I got too much in this trans and its an easy fix..
I do have 115 passes and 2000 hard street miles on it - way more then a stock 4l60 would have lasted with 460rwhp..
It shouldnt have broke that drum with the power I have with no brake, I would imagine the drum cracked when someone pressed the input shaft in. Who knows how many miles it had it on before it made it in this trans and what happened to it in the last 20 years

I am pretty hard on the car also, do huge burnouts and just beat it to death so i dont get mad when something breaks - I just fix it
Thats why I went with a TH350, I have probably rebuilt 500 of these things over the years so its nothing to fix, same with TH400/glide also, but I'm too old to start learning about 4L60s..

Sorry to hear about that man, especially having to reach those top tranny bolts. I never want to do that again on mine lol. Nice catch can BTW, it looks a lot nicer than my plastic JAZ catch can.
