Well it was only a matter of time...
Damn...on the way to the south meet today I got on the 86 from a roll. It wound up to about 5500 in second and just as I go to let of SLAMMED 3rd gear...well, what else is new another automatic trans has fallen to my mighty right foot. she grinds going into 3rd, fan-freakin-tastic. I'm gonna have to baby it till friday so I can do a trans flush, change the filter, and put some lucas in it. If that doesn't solve it...T-5 swap

Hey theres a possibility I might not have completely f'd it up. I'm gonna do the fluid/filter change(+Lucas) cause its in need of it already, and if that don't fix it the T-5. not a big deal really.

I never said that was gonna be easy. There's a lot of thing that had to be modified to work. I've done trans swaps before, but a conversion would be a new adventure. Besides its not a big deal to me that the trans went...doing a conversion is going to be a major PITA

My header just melted a trans line on my Z today. The underside of my white hood is all pink and my motor is very shiny.
On a side note, Id go to Advance or someplace and buy Lubegard instead of Lucas. Much better product IMO.

I've never had a problem with Lucas products and they've all worked quite well for me. sucks about that line though. I'm be under the car again soon enough.

If the trans is making a grinding noise you broke it and there is no snake oil in existance to fix it..

The inevetable is here no cheap fixes for what you did. The planetaries probably broke and sent metal throughout the whole trans. You will need a complete overhaul and the converter will need to be replaced or rebuilt as well. Also the cooler will need to be flushed or replaced....
