I have no clue about the A/T. RGonza just said " its that much to build it and its going to work" So I said ok, I'll send you the cash. They started building it and aparently its done and waiting for the T56 To break. If my 8.8 project works I WILL put slicks on the car which is going to put a lot of stress on that T56. So I guess thats my plan B...

The T56 took a ****.. CRAP.... now wait until the automatic (tip tronic) arives and send the t56 to be biffed up a little, so I have it ready for action again.

hehe... you are right.. Maybe 3. :P
Didnt think the T56 would break. I was wrong. I will be opening it up as soon as I get some time and see whats upin there. It still running so I dont want to abuse it and make it worst so Ill give the car a little break. It does sound BAD.. hopefully something simple.

As for the 8... All in pieces ... AGAIN.... LOTS and LOTS of new stuff for my blue baby..
I know, I know... AGAIN... But what can I say, My 8 is the only thing that keeps my mind busy, so I keep buying new and better parts for it as they come out. Its an endless project, even though I have lots of fun with it when its not gutted all over the place. lol.
