That's funny, I did that to a 700R4 in my 90......Then I found out I broke the case, and a bunch of other internals....Good thing replacement parts cost $700 total (new junkyard trans, all upgraded internals) That's what I get for building it myself

BTW the 93 has yet to break anything....hopefully for awhile
