High gear is completely gone now. No reverse, no high. I shifted into high on the first qualifying run this morning and had nothing. I’ve got a beat on another trans to pick up on the way home. I’m still gonna go up there for first round as 1 and 2 are still totally solid. A very very disappointing first event, but I’ll fix it and be back in 2 weeks! This class racing thing has been unbelievably humbling. Managed a 14.12 off the 13.00 with no 3rd gear.

Have a fresh Coan, reverse pattern for sale

Ed, thanks for reading my post. What part of the Truth and Facts don't you
like. I wouldn't expect you to understand that line, as it contained something God didn't Bless you with, HUMOUR.

J.R. first there's nothing funny about wishing someone has a "serious medical event".

Next please don't use words you don't know how to spell, worse yet when you put them in caps! :p

Re: Crap, th350 emergency

Ed, I'm sorry you live in your little cave, and are not very worldly. I'm not surprised. Humour, or humor in the US way of spelling it, is actually spelt the way I spell in my country. So, not a mistake, just the proper English way of spelling it. So, wrong again, and it's early in the day. That will give you plenty of time to make other errors. I've noticed you have taken time to be critical of my last few posts, but didn't didn't mention I'm trying to help a fellow S/SS racer who is just getting going. I guess some people see the glass half empty(YOU) and some people see it half full(ME). You know, once you got your head out of your *** on the other post, you actually gave some very good information on trans fluid. We know you're knowledgeable, why not try to be helpful instead of being the all knowing critic of everything.
It's easier on everybody that way.

Dawson
The true spirit of Stock Eliminator is to build a car from scratch within the rules in you own shop using your skills and time. Just getting a car to the track is an a accomplishment most never achieve.

You've done you're best and should be proud of what you've accomplished. This trans issue is just new car blues.

Advice:
Pay attention to details.
Everything takes 4 hours minimum
You don't have to have the absolute finest equipment buy what you can afford with your end goal in mind.
Ask questions from those knowledgeable at least try everything a seasoned racer suggests then report back the results. There may be more than one step in the process. No one likes an askhole.

One last thing: To be trashed on the internet is indication you are doing something right. Look at it as an honor and compliment.

A friend of mine went a bunch of rounds at Bradenton beating some people he was not supposed to. His car is deadly he is a very good driver. When I saw him a week later brought it up. At the time he wasn't real happy about it so I started laughing saying dude they finally noticed you when you sent them to their coolers plus they trashed you on the internet. You've made it to the elite of big money bracket racing. A bunch of us were together we all had a good laugh.

Re: Crap, th350 emergency

Dawson, Get a hold of me here or on F/B when you get that trans out.
I'd be glad to help you out if I can.

bad spelling again, you're or you are and I know you/they know I am.:D

Re: Crap, th350 emergency

Ed, I always thought you were a pronoun type of guy. Now I know for sure.

Re: Crap, th350 emergency

Based on your first time trial, you can bet that you lost the High Gear clutch. That clutch must come on along with the Lo/Rev clutch to get Reverse. Should be an easy fix once you get the transmission out of the car. The most common failure mode is the lip seals on the High gear piston are leaking. Make sure when it is rebuild that there isn't excessive clutch travel, that will lead to those seals to get damaged in short order.
