\Went up to Commerce last night to make some runs in my buddies 240. Made a few “soft” runs, then decided to air down the tires and really leave on it. So I dump the clutch at 6400 rpms with around 20 psi of boost on 26x10 MT drags, and a HUGE boom! I busted the tranny (second time in 3 weeks), but heres the weird part, apparently it sent a big shock wave through the car or something because it blew both the freaking air bags out! And the airbags managed to break the windsheild, rip a big hole down the passenger side dash, obviously destroy the steering wheel, and slung out most of the ac vents and crap in the center console. I wish I could have seen it from the stands! And man do those things stink, and I think I inhaled a bunch of that dust because I’m talking like I have a cold now. But anyway, has anyone ever heard of or witnessed this, I haven’t! How hard are you guys leaving? 2-steps? I keep breaking trannies when I leave HARD, broke the output shaft 2 weeks ago and now it seems maybe the same thing again. It’s a 95 with the stock KA tranny I keep tearing up, any ideas?
