Transmission blows on test drive.

This may sound stupid, but have you checked the fluid level AND has the filter been changed recently? Both could cause the problems you described.

Yeah it was just flushed about 200 miles ago thought I'd be nice and flush it for her just as a favor, it looks like it was the demise of the tranny.

1 bolt is all that seperates me from victory right now i've got an hour invested into this one friggen bolt.... Its probably tourqued to about 300 pounds.

New transmission is in it went ok for the most part kinda hard wrestling it into place by myself on the garage floor. I had it 90 percent in and the jack slipped out and the transmission hit the floor that happened twice. Had a jack slip out and hit the oil pan and it made a dent that is so small I thought nothing of it until I started the car and dunk dunk dunk dunk dunk.

This dent is smaller then a pea and probably dented the oil pan less than 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch and now its rubbing and hitting and making a god aweful noise looks like the exhaust and cross member and oil pan are coming out tomorrow Can't wait... its not happening today cause its my birthday damnit.
