so after driving around for about a month and a half with my transmission sounding like a Kenne Bell blower everytime i stepped on the gas, it finally took a shit on the way back from the f-body bbq/p and j dyno thing…luckily, it was less than a mile from my house, so i was able to limp it home on the side streets. i checked the fluid when i got home (just for shits and giggles) and it was very very dark brown color. i knew this was coming, and quite honestly, it doesnt really piss me off…too much. i knew the truck was beat to shit when the motor blew, so i figured after that happened, the transmission would be far behind (because we all kno that Chrysler makes the BEST transmissions EVER /sarcasim). now, occasioanlly, theres a good side ot every abd story (or something like that) and after doing a lot of searching, forum posting, and e-mailing, i finally found a bplace that builds a ‘built’ 46re tranny that is supposed to be good for up to 400 hp and 550 tq. it comes with a converter, but im prob gonna just get a B&M Holseshot one and that way i’ll be all set and shouldnt have to worry about it again. and the best part is, its somewhat affordable. they want like $1600 shipped, which i dont think it too bad. putting it in myself is gonna be a bitch, but i got all winter to do it i guess. ---
