Been trying to get the car out to the track for the last several weeks. The last time out (1 month ago) the computers went down and the track had to shut down. Since then a couple of the nights were so cold they canceled TnT.
So last night was pretty nice weather wise. Made my first pass and the car was off ET and MPH somewhat. Enough so to make me wonder what was up. Second pass I did my burnout and the starter stopped me because the guy ahead looked like he was coasting to a stop on the track. I backed up and waited. Got the go ahead and started to do another burnout(start in 2nd always and hit third and power out), this time nothing. it wouldn't spin the tires. I backed up, put it in 1st then 2nd and tried again. this time I heard a loud pop. I backed up and drove back to the pits in 1st and loaded up. No fluid or anything weird looking.
Today I put it up on jack stands and tried to go through the gears. It appears as if there is no 2nd or 3rd gears. It will go in first and reverse. I didn't pull the pan yet cause I didn't have the time to get into it.
What does this sound like to you? DC
Bad news. I had the strut for the frt band break acted alot like what yours is doing.

Sorry to highjack when someone mentioned it could have broken and went through the floor I thought about what happened to a local racer. He runs a dart with 426 hemi ( turns it over 9000 rpm )and his trans exploded took out the motor and rearend too. Went through the floorpan and parts of the firewall. The trans even had a Kevlar blanket on it.

Chris, hate to hear the news. Hope its simple. At least you didn't oil the track or hurt yourself or the actual car. Good luck . Hope you don't need a whole trans.

I know on mine I could only notice one shift when I was spinning the wheels off the ground. But it shifted fine when I drove it and had all gears.
I'm basing this on the fact that it revved like it was in neutral in second gear while trying to do the burnout. I may drop the pan today before I go to work. DC
