After the long awaited weekend and a mad thrash to get everything ready, the time arrived, Friday all went well and the car seemed to be running like a champ tranny worked great converter is stalling a little higher than I expected tho, but it seem's to work well, my 60ft dropped to a consistant 1.38, knocking .03 off the 60ft, but it came on like gangbuster's to the 330ft by knocking a full tenth off that incremental, and picked a solid 1.5 tenths in the 1/4 mile and picked up 3 mph, ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/boogie.gif) I stayed out of the gambler's race because I was invited to the racer appreciation race and didn't want it to interferre with each other,,,,got tossed in the weed's first round and went back to the trailer for a burger and a drink and relaxed,,,friday brought 4 time runs, with two of those being 10'oh qualifiers, first hit was a dismal..131 light, need to try harder, next one was a .009 light, ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/boogie.gif) , at 10.09,ok I'm ready, first pass in the 10,oh race I went -.001 red,, ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rant.gif) so as I was coasting down after the finish line I thought ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/1343795-scratchchin.gif) ,,ok just get into the gambler's race ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif) as I rounded the turn, I stepped on the gas and and much to my suprise the engine reved but didn't pick up speed ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif) ,,looks like I broke somthing inside the tranny or snapped the pinion in the rear ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shruggy.gif) ,,well it end's up being the tranny, broke somthing inside, no forward or reverse, so that makes a short weekend for me,,time to go visit some friend's ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif)

Sorry to hear, I've seen several cars lately that upped the power and started breaking driveline pieces. Which tranny was it?
It's a 904 Charley, with basically stock component's inside, except clutches, intermediate band,and high gear clutch multi spring retainer.
Mike I was trying, haven't run a .500 pro tree in years and had no clue where to start. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif)

Thank's for the offer Bob, I really appreciate it, but I was not going to take a chance of tearing someone elses stuff up then have to replace it too. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif)

Bill, get the spare in it and lets go down to Clay City together.
That spare case was junk too, so I had to gut the complete tranny that I had,,,need a couple more spares.
