Hey Guys!!!

Hey everyone! Sorry that I've been gone for the past 3 or 4 months. I've had no internet access at my house over the summer. Just got back up to school so I'm online again. How the heck is everyone????

Few updates on the truck, things have changed and no longer selling! Don't need to commute at all this year so she's staying. Just had a bit of a problem thought however....

after a 200 mile round trip, i put the truck in park and the front seal on the trans let go! Had the truck towed back home and getting worked on now. billet, mild shift kit, better clutches etc all going in. Guess it could have been worse.... could have happened on the road least I was back to my apartment. should have it back in a week or 2.


-Robb

Hey Rob, glad to see you're back online .....sucks not having it.

Hate to tell you but the front seal may have stopped leaking after you let it cool down but heck...now you're getting a better trans. YeeeHaw!

Welcome back Rob! Cudos on the trans! Every failure is just a good excuse for an UPGRADE!!

That should be the PMS slogan!! Except what about those parts that are perfectly good that need to be upgraded.........

Robb, Yep, It fixes itself...well sort of.
The seal softens with heat pukes fluid and then seals up when cooled down. I've also seen fluid come from the top of the trans (breather tube) if the trans got really hot or it was overfilled.
