Today Let us mourn the loss of a good transmission
Today at 4:00pm the 60E grabbed its last gear. it was a good trans it loved to do burn outs, grab 4th gear at wot, and it enjoyed its final moments with the LQ9.. The transmission let itself go at a tender age of 110,000 miles.... yet lived a fulfilling life. :::::::::::::::A Moment of Silence::::::::::: 
no but seriously that sucked ***.....
mid throttle 1st gear nice and sideways shift to second and BANG!!!!! at first i was pissed but soon after i started laughing.... hell i knew it was coming 
looks like its time to talk to Vince.....

Man what a shame, R I P. I guess the mighty tq of the 6 was just to strong on the lil fellas heart.. I hope my poor 60e was a non smoker so it's heart will last a lil longer..
Nah man that does suck, but now is a reason to buy the built tranny
