Some of you know this story already lol 
Back in Feb I bought a Built 4L65E, Vigilante 3600 and a pretty beefy cooler from a friend out in NJ, he had used it for about 9 months then decided to demod and sell the car.
It worked great for 2 weeks on the street, took it up to PRP on opening weekend and when I launched it grabbed for a second then instantly hit revlimiter.
You can see me nosedive in this video after launch:
2nd Run I don’t really remember what happened
3rd Run it launched great (1.73 60’) but as soon as it commanded shift, it would free rev right against rev limiter, this video still makes me cringe
So the next weekend we dropped the pan to check out the magnet/filter.
First sign something was not right:
Check out the magnet:
We changed the fluid and filter and buttoned it back up, we knew it was hurt and I hoped to get a few more weeks out of it to get some money together to get it fixed. That was until 2nd gear checked out that night.
Transmission went back to the original builder in Texas (NOT under warranty due to being 2nd owner) and the Converter went back to PI to get cut/cleaned and restalled to 3200.
I got a MMS Message from the builder this morning with this picture and the text “Found your problem”:
Forward clutch piston has a nice big crack in it and the forward clutches are nice and blue with no friction material left. He is going to upgrade the piston to the steel piston and replace the clutch pack. Should be back on the road in 2 weeks.
I need a few of these
