Default Turbo'd SC's- Who's Broken the Stock Automatic

I was wondering, who has broken their stock automatic tranny and what actually happens when the auto stops working? I've never had an automatic car before this one that I modded... Does it just get stuck in one gear or something? Are you still able to goto neutral and park?

Ah, that would make sense of the clutches inside or whatever slipping. Hmmm, Has anyone ever broken anything between it shifting (while doing a pull or something)?

The only reason I'm wondering about this is cause I'm wondering if I can maybe wing it and try to push it a tiny bit on the dyno.

i have a 2jzgte aristo swap on my sc400 and i know for sure these tranny wont last over 400hp or so...put a transcooler on it it should help a lot and worst come to it..try boostlogic and see if they can build you a tranny...i might end up sending my tranny to them when i'm 500hp or so
