I went to Cecil County Drags last weekend...hoping for new lows...what I got was no 3rd gear! Turns out I spun the direct drum input right out! I have a hardened input shaft but the direct drum was the weak part....I limped home 190 miles with 2 gears! Oh well that's racing. I had my best 60ft also...1.62!

No OD for the trip back? I made a trip with the dyno-truck and trailer with no second. That was a weird and wonderful ride!

Yeah...ya know more cars engines blow up in the cold then the heat. I almost opted for E-town would have been an hour and a half closer!

BTW I will have this fixed by Tuesday and plan on Atco in December....yes I'm nuts!
 
Getting her back tomorrow......Direct drum was shot and replaced the intermediate powerpack and the carbon fiber OD band.:banana2:

Deffinetly requires a rebuild!

My original trans lasted a good 45K+ miles. Then blew up 2K miles after a massive burnout. After the first rebuild, I kept blowing transmissions. The parts above kept giving out. A few hundred miles before it would quit, I noticed some eratic shifting. I have since had the trans rebuilt with a hardend stubshaft. There have been no problems since.
