add me to the sideline list
Well, it's been 20k miles since my trans was last rebuilt and that's all I got out of her. Saturday I was on the GSP doing about 65 and got about half throttle to pass someone and my RPMs just rose and I can hear the trans telling me to go F myself as it wouldn't go any faster. So this morning I took my car to the place that rebuilt the trans and I should hear some news tomorrow.
Seems that alot of f-bodies are being sidelined lately...

got my baby back today. The drum cracked and was deemed a defective part, so all I had to pay was for the removal and instal of the trans itself. =)

i had bad luck last year with the trans. Tried a junk yard trans, it didn't last me 2 days, then I had my original rebuilt, they forgot to put the fittings in the case. I put some on and over tightened and cracked the case. Then I had to send it back for ANOTHER rebuild. lol. Finally got the trans in no problems. And then what happened recently.

I think you should be done with that shop. Automatics have been buil to handle excess of 700 horsepower on the strip with no problem, i cant understand why youve had to have yours built so many times with such bad luck. Good luck to you tho, iv had my share of trans/motor issues.
