Thread: '97 is on the road again

  1. #1

    Thumbs up '97 is on the road again

    I wanted to thank Gary, at Track Dog, for supplying me with a good transmission, and related components for a transectamy. As I may have mentioned, Austin found out what extra h/p can do to a transmission when mechanical empathy isn't applied. He got his first "real" opportunity to get his hands dirty and dive into a transmission swap. All went well, and he is back on the road again hopefully with more respect for the car than before.

    BTW, Gary's a real nice guy, it was nice finally meeting him.

    How much boost did you give him to blow out the tranny?

    Glad the swap went well.

    I was driving my dad 03' FM car when the tranny went south too, so I know how Austin feels. Luckily for me my dad was the one sitting next to me saying gun it!

    He's running at the lowest setting w/o disabling the boost, at 8psi. He actually wasn't getting on it at the time, but I know he hasn't been easy on it either.
