I'll give it a few days of figuring out the problem because I'm curious to what went wrong.

Not sure what went into that rebuild 5000 miles ago but that 904 is gonna need some special parts to survive behind that beast of an engine you have.
I told the transmission shop to build it to handle 450 HP and they also installed the Gear Vendor and took the tranny out of the car and put it back in that cost me $3,000 not including the cost of the gear Vendor. But I think your right I toasted my tranny it couldn't handle that much toque even with just cheap street tires on.
Wasn't planing on putting that much torque behind it when I rebuilt the tranny but what the hell..
Should of done that but was a stupid move on my part.
Well from what I found out the kick down linkage was out of adjustment and didn't take long to toast the tranny.
Live and learn I guess.

Well not the only thing I did wrong in my life and not gonna be the last but not giving up yet.
Will check the band adjustment and do a few more checks then pull the tranny and see what is the problem. But today just gonna say screw it because I let someone else use my jack stands and not getting under my car without them. lol
I don't know **** about transmissions. Hoping to learn something myself. I just watched an animated movie on youtube that was kind of cool. Eric the car guy has some videos' that I have not watched yet. I need to get my fat *** out to the shop.
Not me my skinny *** is going for a walk and coming back home and figure out what's for supper tonight.
Did you get it open without downloading VLC Fred?
3rd and reverse are on the same band Fred. That's what I've been told.
Yeah that's what I'm thinking. Check out Google again or take it to a trans guy (not a transvestite)
Got the brakes all done and they stop dead straight so that is good. Going to let them seat in for a short while then readjust them. Bit of a long pedal.
Were able to use the same drums and just had them turned so I still have a spare drum for later on. While my buddy was working on the brakes I cleaned and polished the front wheels (perfect opportunity) and when he was finished and repainted the front drums so everything looks nice again. Sure glad it warmed up some as it was bloody cool this morning. Even had to close 3 of the windows up with the heater on.
Same again tonight I'm afraid.

Sorry to hear about the slippage. No trans guru but don't think adjustment would cause it. Gettin close to winter hibernation for cars. Last 2 days put pvc flooring in car trailer.
Yea time to put mine to bed as well sure missed seeing your car at the track in Minot this year.
Not saying I'm last or anything cause not wanting a prize for being last just saying I'm last for saying good night.
Damn I know Mark will still give me **** for this in the morning and if he doesn't CF will.
