At 400+hp, What kills A904s?

Fact is, you don't have an opinion. You site others' opinions. The only opinion I have seen you state as your own (of any consequence) was, "slush box" to define your 904. But,but, but....you had it rebuilt by a local shop...

What does that have to do with anything?!

You seem to have something to prove here. I have no interest in standing in the way of that. You're literally fighting with yourself.

Just because I'm participating in the discussion doesn't mean that my identity and self esteem has anything to do with my automatic transmission and what I do or don't know about it.

Don't play this elitist "I built it myself and you didn't" garbage. It's tiresome. I willingly respect anyone who wrenches on their own stuff, especially when it comes to things I don't know much about, like automatics. I don't know if that's you or not. You've talked a big game but mostly said a lot of disrespectful stuff about other people's choices. That's your business though.

And just to clarify, I am just trying to learn how to not nuke my 904 while I save up and find the parts for the conversion to manual. I've got no dog in this fight.
