Default sc300 auto trans trashed

about a month a go my trans went out after doing about 5 launchs
i was do 0-60 test on my 95 stock sc300 with 210,000 miles on it

and i was rev her to about 6000 than slap her in drive then my converter started slippin and then trans stoped going in gear so had to get it towed to
go the trans pulled fluid black and converter fuild black so i had my trans shipped out to aareman.com $1850 to get drag clutchs and a pro drggon stall covrter with 2300 stall and will hold up 750 hp

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...
