I've been running my built Trans for years and still shifts strong

Sorry to hear.

Do you preload your drive train? If so, that may be your problem. And how's about a tranny from a v12 brother?

RBJ I think you need to find out why it went into limp mode so you dont have this issue again. I am thinking the torque values exceeded the permissible parameters.

Bet that was a big relief to Ya RBJ! I was thinking no way in hell did the second trans go that quick.. Maybe try taking up the slack, but not at 1500 RPMS, maybe like 1100? What ever is closer to idle for that 60'

Alright fells, yes the trans went into limp mode. But the problem now is trying figure out why it did. We can't duplicate the conditions from last night. So it's gonna be tough. But we are on it, that's for sure.

And just so every one knows this was not the same trans as before. That one is being sent out to be built up. This is only a temp. It's a rebuilt stocker with a rebuilt tq. It will be used as a spare later.

I really do appreciate every ones thoughts, concerns, and advice! Thank you guys!

Man . . I'm glad to hear it's not another spent tranny. I guess the original tranny is going to move up on the priority list to get rebuilt (better/stronger)

Your worst nightmare...
Sometimes a hard code can only be released or eliminated by a hard reset thru star. Has happened many times in my EV12. Specially at the track.

You are absolutely right! We already reset thru star and retuned to 93oct. That puts power at 527hp 578tq. Time to take it easy for awhile. But thank you sir!

I would say waiting for that built tranny and some lower DAs coming this fall would be damn good advice at this point.

I was pooping at work when I read this on my phone. I almost crapped myself!

Glad it's not serious.
