Default I think I blew my first 60!

Well went out with some friends last night. When I tried to leave I put the HO in reverse and there wasn't anything there. I then put it in neutral and it started going forward like it was in drive. I checked the rest of the forward gears and they were working..........The part that really sucked was pushing that heavy bastard backwards up hill. I dropped it off at the dealership today. They aren't going to be able to look at it until monday. Good news is one of my friends cousin's is a tech up there so hopefully he can overlook the shift kit, servos, and tune when it comes down to warrante. If not it looks like the heads and cam I was going to get for my birthday are going to be put on hold. If I have to pay for a new tranny I am going to go ahead and do an 80E conversion. I guess the only good thing is I ran an 8.47 at 82mph in the 1/8th before I F'd up the tranny.

Congrats on the times and sorry about your trans.
I toasted mine about 6 months ago. Basically smoked all the plates in my trans, it was slipping so bad it would not go over 40mph with out allot of patience.
Good luck on your 80 upgrade as well.

i busted mine about 6 months ago. i lost 2nd and 4th. it was fun racking it up in 1st and letting it go into 3rd for a while. LOL 126k miles out of a 60E isnt too shabby though.

I have tried going from neutral to reverse and nothing is happening. 126K is nice, but 14K is not.

Yeah I took it to Kenadale. And it took one hell of a beating as did my rear tires which I also need to replace! The price we pay for all of this fun!

We need to get some trucks together and go out there on a Wednesday night and have some fun.
