When i put it into drive, reverse, or any gear, it made a terrible grinding/crushing noise and couldnt get the gear. Then when i went to put it back into park, it was almost like a higher pitched whining of a noise. I guess that tune really did give me some more power. So anyway, once i figure out whats wrong with it, ill be getting some new parts.
    Just out of curiosity. Did you do any mods to your transmission? If the trans is messed up would a servo, shift kit or an aluminum accumulator pin have prevented that from happening?

    No way this type of damage would have been prevented by slight performance (not reliability) mods. We still don't know if the problem is in the TC or the rear axle.

    Could be from changing the fluid to late. After about 50,000+ miles on a transmission you should change the fluid. After that you are chancing something to go out.
