So I fried my tranny yesterday at the track...

So I did my burnout, got the tires nice and sticky. Cut a good light, pulled a 1.9 sixty foot but it felt like the tranny was slipping. Got into second pullin' pretty good. at the 1000 foot, it would not shift into third and I had to let up a bit and it went into forth.

I got my slip, 13.6 @ 102 which sucked because I uped my boost and was expecting better

On the way to the pits I noticed the revs dropped when I put it into first gear. The car now revs in first gear freely and will not grab unless the car is moving and even then it still revs. 1-2 shift seems okay, 2-3 does not exist, I have to let up the throttle to 0% TPS for it to go into fourth and it drives and the motor doesn't rev.

All in all, my tranny is pretty fried. I guess putting 16 PSI boost through a stock tranny isn't a good idea!

Does that tranny have a rwd cross?

The trans in the GTP's are the weakest link.

From the last time I was on CGP, the intense trannys were fairly crappy. Dunno if they have redone them, or someone better has come along.

Will a 4T80E from the caddy or Aurora swap in?

I don't know anything about fwd trans but can you swap in the 6speed from the g6? Smile

Last time i looked, someone was infact working on a 5sp or sp swap from a fwd car. I forget the details. Surely they have it completed by now.
