Nice find, Tom! So the TCUGO was all for nothing?

Sounds to me like it put way to much strain on the stock tranny. If you would have built it up ahead of time with new end clutches and a beafed up shift kit and torque converter it would have probably lasted awhile. An aftermarket tranny cooler would have been ideal as well since DSM trannys under high stress like to get above 200 degrees F which leads them to an early death.

Good luck with the wheel hopping, FWD, axle breaking, GST though.

End Clutches: Check
Shift Kit: Check
Stall Converter: Check
Tranny Cooler: Check
Fresh Synth Fluid: Check

We' see here pretty soon, <soon as I can get into LSE> if my luck is any better with the TCUGO!
