    You're just too hard on it. Drive it like a Grandpa and it may last but what fun is that? Put a turbo 400 in it and thrash the hell out of it. I'd probably do that too if I didn't already have the 80e. I could always switch gears since the TH400 doesn't have OD.

    You keep this up and you may become one HELL of a Tranny Builder!!! They aren't that hard, just need to know what parts to install where to build them up...NEVER settle for the cheap parts, they WILL break on you. The tranny can be built to handle what you are putting to it...just takes time and money! Do some research on google...performance mods are all over the place for those things!
