Buddy had one come apart like that in a derby truck. Stupid thing finished the derby, done off the track, and onto the trailer, then that was all she wrote. No clue why or how it kept moving.

Well, sometimes you make your own luck. Like when you choose the breed of truck you're going run. At least he's finding his limitations and getting back to the drawing board and making it better each time I hope. Sometimes, you gotta break alot of **** before you get it right.

I seen one do it just like that, live, in person and up close. At the dragstrip in a 6.0 GTO, scattered the 4L60-E and trans flud all over the track right at launch.

Thats why NHRA drags and some mud tracks make you wrap the trans with a kevlar blanket wrap or a blow sheild plate 3/8 thick . i googled kevlar wrap and seen a mopar with a hole in the passangers door you could put your fist through. Thats how people loose limbs.

From what I've read about auto trans shift kits, the increase in pressure from oversizing certain holes in the seperator plate is phenominal, especially if people get a little overzealous about how big to make the hole. Bigger is not always better in this instance. And if the trans isn't set up for dual feed, all that pressure = catastrophic failure.
