I took a friend for a ride, hit 2nd gear and BOOM, no more forward gears but still has reverse. Looking at my schematics, I am thinking I broke the forward band. Am I right?

Sounds right, but autos scare me so I'm not sure...

One thing for certain, that blows!

Literally, oh well, luckily the trans has zippers. :o

Oh and better now than at the track tomorrow.

I sheered the shaft on the rear output shaft????? not sure what its called but its hooked up to the first transfer gear. Broke it cleanly????????? :confused:

Also fixed my rear clutch as the mod to fit 5 plates broke and installed the updated OBX washers, might as well.

Would you stick a 555 or a 568 in there already? Aren't you tired of 16 MPG yet? ;)

i did that on a stock 3.0/670 van once.. i couldn't believe it. seriously the thing makes less than 200lb ft of torque.

personally i think it has to be something with the metallurgy or some mistake in the manufacturing cuz lots of people are putting down a lot of power and NEVER break one.
