I haven't blew up our tranny in the tC, but I am experiencing some turbulence when accelerating. It's been abused, while I didn't know it was low on tranny fluid. It started by poping out of 3rd gear. Before I realized I need to change to higher grade oil, the damange has been done. It can still be driven, but I'm going to replace the tranny soon, so I can get back to racing.
PS....When you get that tranny fixed fusion...Wanna race me in the tC?

If you sale the box, you can't race me. I've got to see what she's got.

Dora is becoming real popular this season. Never heard of it until my in-laws grand child had it which was just last week. By the way, the car is a BEAST now. OMG does she ripp. I really can't imagine what it would be like with the extra 100hp goal that I have set for it.

Oh ok I have family in Waterbury and Hartford. You still drove it up the trailer?? What gear came through the case of the tranny?? Usually if anything breaks loose nothing works - guess that depends upon the layshafts and power transfer paths.

yeah it still drove... we actually drove it slow a couple miles three weeks ago to bring it to a shop to assess the damage... i guess the pin came loose and bounces around and went through the gear housing, and cracked the outtermost case... dunno why it drives, but it makes a heavy metal on metal grind when going down the road...
well see though.. went up fine, ill hear tomorrow or the day after when kenny at zero point gets ahold of my ride...
kenny if ur out there, my xB is on its way to your shop..

if it works, they will sell it as a transmission upgrade kit.... zpi's tc is running 350whp or something, and they have never had a problem with a trannhy
