Wow when you are caving the trans pan in you are landing HARD... Would be the perfect time to switch to a....Ahem...Cough Cough.... Glide.

Wow, glad it's a relatively easy fix! I'm surprised it's lasted as long as it has. My trans guy recommended a steel planetary setup for me once I surpassed the 650 hp or so range. Good luck w/ it Doug...looking forward to seeing how those new carbs work out for you.

Funny thing it didn't rip the diaper up. Mine did last year. I had a guy near me who builds tarps sew it back up. I got rid of the center sump hanging down thing and put the Milodon flat bottom pan on mine the other week .Much more stable oil pressure. I hit the pan now and I am looking for a new car lol. What, and give up all the fun? Wheelies are FUN! I know but sooner or later they get expensive, and if you are shoe polish racing they cost you win lights...
