Sam, save yourself the heartache of totally hosing your transmission and
stop rallycrossing on it until you get it fixed.
When you DO get it fixed, pour in a gallon (3.78 liters or so) of Neo
Synthetic. That's what we put in when I had my tranny rebuilt by Buckner;
and i've had no quarrels with my transmission. BTW, that rebuild was early
this year/late last year and i've already put 20k miles on the car. sheeesh,
i drive too much.
