First pass it launched a few feet and unloaded the tires and spun REAL good ..then hooked so i ran it out to a blistering 10.40 Next pass I put a 3K chip in it to calm her down a bit, let go of the button and it launched about 2 feet and ZINNNGG !! up on the 7K chip. For a split second I thought it just boiled the tires.... then realized the car wouldnt move. So i went to 2nd and then 3rd drove it back. No 1st gear , but I have everything else. My guess is my fancy bolt in sprag let her bits n pieces loose.... Yes ? I was just getting ready to order a ladder bar kit too..

If it is a stock one it is definitely time to retire it as I'm sure it is full of stress cracks now . Can a billet one be put back in service after turning 27 bazillion RPM? Kevin

I hurt my last trans this same way and it had a bolt in sprag. just busted the case to turn the sprag. 67' charger 499 RB 10.57 at 127

Yes. A bolt-in sprag w/o a LBA valve body is a waste of money. "Everybody funny, now you funny too."

Those little metal tangs still fold over easy from the rollers. I now have the a&a ultimate sprag as they call it in my trans along with a griner valve body low band apply been running that for a few years now. The ultimate sprag is a more heavy duty peice. Would be interesting to see which one you had.
