The tranny temp went to 270 degrees So the tranny has to come out to be freshened and the converter cut open and repaired/tightened.
Big 2 day points race coming in 2 weeks...so I have to get it all fixed by then, but I'm out of town next weekend, so It looks like a lot of late nights.
I here ya also Jim, just spent this week doing late nights in the garage. I'm at a 2 day event right now. Nitrous problems and battery troubles kept me out of the 10's, only went a 11.02 at today's test and tune. Picked up a new Red Top tonight, hope that's the trouble, had to be pushed out of the staging lanes twice today. Won't be running Nitrous at tomorrows bracket races, I'll post up some video and pics when I get home, Air Card is too slow for that .
