Well it was not the transmission, it was the rear gear. I just had the gear switched over from welded to spooled. The rear end builder said the rack and pinion was not in good shape, but he had raced worse. To just run it and see what happened. Well, after about 40 laps of practice, it's done. I pulled the drain plug last night, and there was metal shavings everywhere. Looks like I'll be buying a new one. Fun times....
