Russ have you updated anything besides the motor on your car in the way of rear end or tranny mods? Want to see what you have done and how it holds up when you hook up with your new wheels.

I definitely will (whenever I can get out there). I really need to get my roll bar done. There are some tracks I can hit now, but the bigger ones won't let me run long without it.
Yes ma'am (I'm from Texas you know). |

I didn't want to post anything until I knew what was going on, but it looks like the 4/5/6 clutch plates fused together (pics below). According to Circle D this is one of the weakest links in the 6L80. I drive it hard, and I guess with 600+RWHP it just couldn't take it. GM specs this transmission at a max of 469 HP (flywheel) and 439 lb/ft torque. I talked to a GM tech the other day that said he's seen this happen on stock cars. Owen is building my transmission right now (his stage III kit). I'll post it up here later with more information and pics. Last edited by Dangeruss; 02-01-2011 at 11:49 AM. |

The tranny feels great. Shifts are firm and quick. Drives like a different car. I'm babying it right now, but I'm very interested to see how it feels when I can put the hammer down. |
