Why? In the water box? I am asking because I do not know and I do my water box burn out in 1st...

I have never experienced, nor know anybody in the years I have been racing,, but apparently they explode,,

I also have done many 1st gear burn-outs, not knowing of this problem.. here's the link.. it's a "sticky" in the trans section,, and scares the snot outta some folks,, its good info..
