    Lots of $$$ spent in transmission. Powerglide.
    I blew up 4 Allison transmissons one year. 3 were rebuildable. The last one I lost the flexplate which took out the torque convertor AND the front pump, AND P2 planetary.
    A 7200.00 paperweight.
    On a positive note, I did get 9 miles out of it
    Envy green is not a color well worn. Might want to quit while you're ahead

    After how much it cost to get my transmission fixed on my old car I just assumed that they were made money already. Cool looking job.

    72 psi of boost. Very fitting trans graphics...

    Speaking of graphic.... I tried to google a picture to humoursly illustrate that point....

    Apparently googling "exploding tranny" with safe search OFF = lesson learned.

    I think I might need more than my usual one evening drink to get THAT out of my head and forgotten...

    If you choose to go forth, remeber one thing.
