Well, I had some minor upgrades planed. But they will have to take the back burner. Yesterday my tranny started acting up. Delayed reverse and major flare shifting into 3rd. I was hopeing it was just a TCU issue so I changed my settings so that I would have full line pressure full time and kept heading to work. After work I stoped by TKR's and picked up a 1g Throttle body (one of my planed minor upgrades) After leaving there the problems just got worse. The TCU was in limp mode so I stoped and reset it and kept heading tward home. By the time I got home the tranny was slipping very badly and trans temps were climbing higher then I have ever seen them.
So at this point in time I think my trans is in need of a full rebuild with some of the standard upgrades. I am priceing a few things out right now and will update with my future plans.
If anyone has a 2G AWD Auto Trans for sale let me know. I wouild really like to get the car back on the road and to the track again this season.

3rd and OD have always had a little flare so I'm not really suprised buy it. I always just blew it off as the TCU trying to shift "smoothly"
I challanged Swifty but we never drove our cars on the same day so it never happened. But I really wanted to do it. I also Challanged Ryans camaro and a older style supra from work with nothing happening but talk. I have to get mine back together and end the talk.

I Took my transmission apart today. I found pretty mutch what I exspected. The front clutch pack was totaly burnt out. So I will be ordering up a master rebuild kit, kickdown band, and Kiggly 5-friction front clutch kit tonight. I am still hopeing to get back to the track this season.
I have attached pics of the front clutch disks there is literaly no linieng left on it. 2nd pic is burnt disk comaired to a good one,
on a side note I rode in Swiftys car last weekend and HOLY SHIT! if that thing got traction it would be unreal.

Have you never heard of a supra? They are kinda known for not having traction or at least owners that just want big power and have no idea of what to do for traction.
Shane has a low mile trans for sale....
