Another one bites the dust :(

So drving home yesterday i decided to do a quick run and when i went to shift 2-3 my trans pretty much said FU and gave up on me. Long story short i blew out third gear completely. After some searching i found a trans with 10 miles on it from an SS that was totalled on a test drive and this trans has the G85(LSD) so im really happy. It will begetting ordered today

Sucks you shredded the tranny, but at least you found a good replacement.

If you don't mind me asking what all mods do you have done before you had this happen? Glad you found a replacement one though.

As far as mods go i have a full 3" turboback exhaust, a bigger intercooler, intercooler piping, GM Stage 1 and a custom HPTune on top of it.

And yeah no warranty because the car is tuned. But you gotta pay to play

So i just ordered the trans. $494.32 ill be picking it up thursday. If you guys ever need parts for your cars call LKQ google them.
