well lets just start off in saying before i even made my first pass of the weekend i blew 2nd gear up in the car doing my first burnout, so i travelled 4 hours to race for the weekend what do i do, i could go home and waste the money i spent on gas, racing fees, hotel etc, no i say and race anyways with no 2nd gear.....1st gear burnouts then stage and race 3000rpm launchs....my best time of the week was a 14.11 @ 97mph going 1st, 3rd, 4th, not to bad in my books and to boot at the worst track around

i shifted into 2nd gear and it was in for a split second then it blew, as for the burnout i had diff tires on, changed them after the transmission went

I would like to know why it blew. I thought these transmissions were stronger then the MSP's. And how did you get them to cover it at the stealership
