Not Ranked
No brochure Ernie, just a builders claim.
Now get a load of this....he had the car out this past weekend and after a quick ride I told him he is putting out MAYBE 400hp at the flywheel which made sense to both of us.
During a little tire screeching coming off of a red light the gear box went down. I scolded my buddy for "goosing" his new motor too much and explained to him about break in etc. and he asked me if this new engine might have caused the transmission problem. My answer to him was that with the engine/tranny combo he has no way should the gear box give up. At first we thought it was the clutch but upon further inspection it turns out to be an internal problem within the transmission.
Its a Tremec 600 (sound like a familiar thread?)
The builder of the car made a two hour drive down here to pick it up and now has it back in his shop.....I can't wait to found out how this one comes out.
