Default Quick update...

This is a mix of a story and of insight, so mods feel free to move, dont quite know where this one belongs...

---------

SOOOO i was out practicing tonight at my local walmart parking lot

and i have my auto in 2nd gear just chilling,


Well i completely connect 7 islands while ending in a nice little power slide at the end when i hear a nice load crunch noise.... thought for a little while "hmm wtf was that?" then dismissed it as a random noise that my SC likes to make... its weird... but hey whatever , story for another time...

ANYWAY... so i go to accelerate and then all hell breaks loose...

Drive shaft comes unsplined... and goes crashing down to the ground... my transmission starts shaking then with a loud bang followed by a serious of crunches Grenades it self leaving a rather large mess of fluid, solenoids and cluchs on the ground....


So there i am ,after feeling like a bad *** and putting on quite a show for the stunned onlookers of the walmart parking lot and a few people that were inside.... STUCK in the parking lot... with smoke and gears all around me

after a series of words i didnt even know existed and a loooong rant of epic swearwords i calmed myself and began research....


JDMmuscle is with out a transmission... i need one, If you love me you will aid me in my quest for the most BA auto trans ever,, because i am to lazy to sort threw all this trash to find all the parts for the 5spd trans.

please consult my post
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=327365

OR if you have any other info on auto trans that would be able to stand the beating i seem to put upon them, considering this is now the 4th Trans iv had in 2 years




JDM out...

LOL, I tore up a clutch once while showing out and everyone was looking at me like I was the anti-christ for doing what I did to that parking lot. Least impressed was the store manager and I had no way to get away. LOL!

You just stand there looking around at everyone looking at you like your a richard head and you have NO WAY TO LEAVE!

I bet it was badass, too bad it wasn't on video.

=]

Good luck with the auto-tranny.

That sucks pretty hard, but I bet it was amazing while it lasted.

Put a TH400 in there - you will have a hard time destroying that.

Sc 400 trannys can't take too much abuse and with all the abuse yours got i have to say it help up for a while .Replace it for a used unit or TH400 ftw

Wow, that is a crazy story! I hate when $4!t like that happens. I am not clear on what tranny you want. Are you currently a 5 speed manual or a automatic? Is it a SC400 or 300. I know your sig says 400 but I am guessing its a swap, right?

i would go with either boost logic or th400. as far as loud noises after crazy slide, i would probably have checked on that before accelerating again.

Sc400, Auto trans


5spd swap would be badass but like i said i have limited mechanical ability, Im body man, If there was some kit put together i would do it


SO im looking for something easy, i was just thinking a Badass auto trans would doo

I have two stock 97 sc400 trannys one with 80,000 miles and one with 103,000. You could send one off to BL to have it biult up super tough. Shipping is a killer on them.
