Re: turbo 400 w/brake locking up in 3rd

thanks marv. I talked to wilson and he said that this transmission is not designed for street use? Wish he told me that before i bought it.. Anyway, i asked him why a built turbo 400 wouldn't last as long as a stock 400 on the street and he said it had to do alot with the clearances and i forgot what all. I thought mabey he didn't know what he was talking about so i called a performance transmission shop in arizona that was in one of my car craft magazines and he said the same thing. So i guess i'll take it out and have larry make it a little bit more streetable, but still strong enough for occasional track use...
