My response which you blew off as I'll fix it when it breaks was this. I suggested that with all your new horsepower you better look at your tranny. I mean after all with the motor out its nothing to pull it.You have not had the car running long and already you need your tranny rebuilt. hate to say I told you so but...
So, it broke, and I'll fix it.
BFD.
I'm not surprised
I expected it, just happened a little sooner than I had hoped. Again, BFD.
I didn't blow it off, but I had a choice to make. I had so much money to spend and a tranny could not be justified to the wife until it blew up. Period. I never argued that it would, go back and check my posts.
My tact is to finish the engine and cross my fingers, or do what so many people do and start collecting all the really cool parts and never get anything done. That's how many builds stall at the bench.
