Turbo Sho Kills Transmission

somedude · 08-20-2008, 09:12 PM

this is as of last saturday. still drives so I will see if i can get to the dyno before it finishes itself off.

this happened on the way to Ohio yesterday evening. I managed to limp the car to my cousins house where we dropped the pan and found this mess. replaced the filter and put 8qts of fluid in it and drove it a bit over 200 miles home. There is NO slippage but it makes some nasty noises off throttle. I will give it hell to get a tun on it and see if it will keep together to make some dyno pulls, but that metal came from somewhere.

I can't win with this junk that ford designed.

Ouch...

That's a LOT of metal. I'm sure a few dyno pulls will instantly turn it to grated cheese (as if it wasn't already turning into grated cheese).

I wonder if the trans grenading will be an epic event. I'm talking trans fluid spewing, metal chunks blasting into the concrete, and a collective "DAYYYYUM!" from all whitnesses.
