misterp Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Sorry to hear that man, FWIW I know the dead transmission pain and the hassle. You're in good hands Mr. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brobradh77 Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 It truely sucks when the tranny goes...Its usually not an "if" but a "when" after a certain amount of modding...But just think of it like i did....Now i dont have to wonder when i go to the track any more if this will be the time it goes.

budhayes3 Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 My truck has been out of commission since the end of Novemeber thanks to a smoked 60E, not even 60K on my mildly modded truck...I know how you feel man. I've saved up about 1/3 of the cash for an FLT Level 5 so far, then I still have to save for a converter, wether it be a Yank or Circle D (not sure if the Yank TT3000 will be strong enough to survive behind the heads/cam LQ9 I'm building) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96vteccd5 Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Well I mean damn, these tranny's go out like that??? I guess I need to get that zippy shift kit installed ASAP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wild2003ss Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 I had 7 transmissions go on me u can ask Zippy on that. Found out the Guy i had do the Tune had my shift points at 6000 and my rev limiter set at 5500 after zippy and Rossler transmissions got there hands on it runs like a beast and no problems in a year knock on wood.

budhayes3 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Well I mean damn, these tranny's go out like that??? I guess I need to get that zippy shift kit installed ASAP? Mine gave me no signs, I was cruisin' down the highway with my 2 1/2 year old daughter sleeping in the child seat, went to accellerate a little bit, and all of a sudden the rpm's just jumped up and the truck started slowing down. I was able to rev the snot out of it to limp it home, but when I pulled the dipstick there were little chunks of clutch material all over it. My guess is that the lockup clutch took a dump and sent pieces of junk through the trans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I better take it easy then and at least get on the good foot with the shift kit. Has anyone seen Zippy around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssspringer Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Whats up with all the trannys blowin' ?? Mostly Heavyly modded?? Rough driving?? Poor maintence?? I try to be easy on mine most of the time. What seems to go in the tranny 1st? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone seen Zippy around? I'm still around. I've just been working about 60 hours a week and have been trying to spend some time with the wife. I'm slowly working on being back on here every day again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
