I think the post by 429 was informative. This shit isn't second nature to everyone. Thought for a moment that it might have made Jamie STFU, (I don't think anything typed could be THAT powerful)! LOL.

I've learned something here which I can't say for most threads

Nice first pass, sucks about the second. Look who is not running and who is now...

You can blow your shit up and still make a pass about as fast as my V6

Hope it's a quick fix for you, nice car!

Jamie, if the trans broke will you rebuild the 6L80E and stay with it? I'd personally like to see one keeping getting used.

Chris's posts are always full of great info. That boy knows his shit. A job in customer service is def not in his future. I am glad to hear what he has to say. Some times not sugar coating things isn't for all.

Zero plans to change the trans out. That will never happen.


Same goes for any other parts if possible. The combo of a green track, the bouncing and the wheel spin, just proved touch. Eliminating one or all of those and it'll be fine. The car only puts down 730 rwhp.

Do you launch in second gear? The super short first gear in the 6L has got to be murder with all the torque you make.

I have no gears at the moment. The driveshaft just spins. Up on stands, when you step on the brake the tires stop but the driveshaft keeps spinning.

And went you put it in park it sounds clunky.
