He's also shifts faster than anyone I've ever seen in real life or in a video and his car makes awesome power for the mods.

There is now Royal Purple in my newly rebuilt transmission (rebuilt by my brother and myself).
The jury is still out on why it blew j/k

The forst owner put RP in my trans. It didnt always shift smooth. I put dextron 3 in it and noticed a big difference imediately.

Regardless of why it blew, I might as well get the most power out of it possible if it's only gonna last me a year or so at a time.

I'm fairly confident that with the new master and properly disengaging clutch I'll see quite a bit more life out of it this time around. And if not, we've got the tools to rebuild anytime I want in my garage, so I don't really care anymore!
