Cordell Posted March 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Nice to have the car running, so far the transmission is working great. With the new converter the car just hazes the Nittos. Car needs a 9" and slicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cordell Posted April 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Some of you that made it over to Dyno Brian's yesterday know that my car broke again. It seems that the tailshaft housing on my transmission broke. I had just replaced it friday because the first one was cracked and leaking, then saturday while making pulls it started leaking fluid. This time it came apart far enough to bind up the driveshaft, hopefully it didn't hurt the output shaft. Before anyone says anything about the Performabuilt tranny, know that it doesn't come with a tailhousing or a bellhousing. So I'm not blaming them, not to mention that I need to relocate the torque arm. I'll have to inspect things a little closer when I take it apart, but I don't know what could've happened other then the converter hits so hard plus nitrous and 500rwhp just puts too much stress on it.

Cordell Posted April 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Well this is why you should remove the torque arm from the transmission. http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp133/ND2RACE/broken/CIMG0133.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillbot Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 yeah, i'm sure my trans is gonna look like that soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted April 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 yeah, i'm sure my trans is gonna look like that soon I'm just lucky it happened on the dyno, I'd hate to have done that on the street. Take the torque arm off, especially if you're using a "hit" of nitrous or a big stall that hits hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
