Very colorful description Scotty. I can picture it vividly. Sounds bad.  |

Yeah, that part kind of sucked.
The AAA guy was really cool. I got my car on and off the flatbed with no damage. The distance back to Webster was 98 miles so it was covered by AAA Plus. And we pushed it right into my garage. There was going to be a $15 surcharge for using a flatbed but AAA called me and said they weren't going to charge me since you need a flatbed to travel that far.
Engine sounds OK. But the car doesn't move in gear until I rev it up to over 3k rpm. Then it starts to move. Might be the torque converter. Johnny autotapped it and the input shaft speed graph follows the engine rpm graph, but it's much slower than it should be. |

Yes. Rebuild in early July with Transtar, INTENSE and ZZP parts including an INTENSE torque converter. There's a warranty on the torque converter. |

I felt terrible for Larry....but he didn't seem to upset about it, I think he was more pissed that it actually broke on such a stupid moment.
Larry, Let us know what you find out with the tranny. |

I know I didn't seem too upset about the car, but it's pretty disappointing. It's going to be costly ($, time) and a huge inconvenience. For starters, I currently don't have a car! I'll let you guys know what happens.
*waiting for Mike H. to send me pics/video* |
