My trans is back.......
Off my truck with my 1 man Screw City Sales LLC, asset reallocation program moving services….after I got it from my dealership.......truck freight delivery from/to there is much easier!
...and my box of parts from Carl Rossler.
verified that T-brake heat kills
I gotta stay on it less 
My front planetary shaft washers got hot..........look close in the pics
A good reason for the trans leak........my pump vanes and shaft bushing got hot too.........
After a long talk with Carl......and my usual **** homework, I have decided to put in AMSOIL Torque-Drive™ Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATD) to help keep the temps down during road racing. STREET/DRAG RACING WAS NO ISSUE BEFORE.......about 15 quarts should do it!
All I need is the TC back from John at Fuddle & back together it goes for the 25th I hope
Thanks to Brad "Subdriver" on here for the fluid hook-up!

Not the vanes but the plastic **** near it........
I remember your fun with the A4 Bob
3.73 Cartek rear............
No DTE, I minimize my wheel hop and the brace only keeps it together IMHEO when it does break as I have seeen a few times.........AND with 3" exhaust and a deep pan its way tooooooo close.
Maybe to many of these maybe..............

I just attempted to rebuild my own tranny for my current project car, it almost worked out, it slips in "drive" and "3" but works good in "1" and "2". Thank goodness I bought a backup tranny until I can figure out where I screwed up.
