Ok guys,
Heres the story. Back in October of 2003 I take my tranny to get rebuilt, its slipping at the 1-2 shift and has a few miles on it so I take it to Vince.
He goes through it, rebuilds the valve body to his spec, puts a billet forward drum in, billet input shaft, alto red bands, I already had a PTS xtreme billet servo and pressure valve assemble in it(there were a couple of other parts upgraded but I don't have the receipt in front of me at the moment).
I got a stock D5 rebuilt to run in it as well at the same time.
I have a PTS xtreme tranny cooler on this as well.
I finally got the car back together and running in April. The motor is a stock 3.8, stock heads, cam, intake, turbo, everything is stock, 16lbs of boost to boot.
This was transplanted into my 3rd gen Camaro.
Car ran great. Tranny shifted awsome, firm and everything.
Last Saturday I was merging onto interstate. Was in 3rd gear, I put the pedal down to merge, it down shifted into second and started to pick up, at about 3500 rpms I hear this very suttle clunk/twang and then the rps fly and I have no power to the wheels at all.
I pull over, rev the engine, it sounds fine, put it in park, back in gear, nothing, put it in park then reverse, nothing.
So I walk a couple miles back to town, have my uncle tow me back home. While the car is jacked up I start the car and put it in gear. The driveshaft isn't turning at all.
I checked the fluid at this point, it looked great, smelled fine and was at the proper level(a hair above the full mark).
So, what do you guys think could have happened? Input shaft? Overrun assembly?
If either of those, I have NO idea why in the hell this would have failed against a 14/13second motor. I'm still cooling down from it, I'm pretty pissed. I have over 2k in this tranny and live about 110miles from Jannis transmission.
