Utmost retardation. That's like grabbing onto a fast moving train with your bare hands while you're standing still (your arm will break off like your tranny did).

Almost as good as the kid i met who blew a trans during his driving test while on the highway going about 65. When they took it to the trans shop they didnt know how it failed until they asked the kid what he did. His response: "I put it in P gear for passing"

That rebuilt trans might be a waste of money unless you do some research on how to properly launch your car from a stop. Think about it...
