Haven't decided on a direction to correct this. The failed transmission also blew the motor, sigh.

I wanted to do this but with everything that I need to change out it will break the bank because of the blown motor I have to factor in now. Originally Posted by brentsSVT

I'm going to assume that something internally let go in the transmission and caused this to happen...
Next, I may just have Darrin (BC Automotive rebuild the 4R70W) Circle D re-stall and put in a multi disk clutch and buy a FRPP Aluminator block for a 4 valve. The TFS heads will raise its 8.5:1 compression to 8.7ish but I wont make the same power as the other motor that was in the car. This is the cheapest route and parts alone will break the $5k range, FML. Will just sell my 2007 ZX6R to fund this.
