Default Wtf..


So I just get the brand new Moser 9" installed and what happens.. the Tranny pops a Snap Ring on the Highway and toasts all the Gears..

It was on a down shift, it bounced off of the Limiter cause the Tires were spinning, then I was slipping in 4th, then 3rd, then lost it all..

I be glad to go to a T56 for that reason alone..
