Looks like it's time for a t56
Well I was driving down 696 and gave it some gas to switch lanes and it started slipping like crazy. I made sure it wasn't like the converter or anything so I stopped and checked. First and second gear work perfect but once it goes into 3rd or 4th it slips to no end and I can't even accelerate.
Bottom line is...I'm done with autos and I'm going with the t56. Patrick (rodriques) let me drive his today and it was a blast. Plus they are bulletproof so that's always nice. Then I'll just run on dr's until I can save for a 12 bolt and really lay down some good times. Til then, I'll just have a blast on the street.
If anyone wants a 4l60e that needs a rebuild or a perfect condition low mileage vigi 3000 drop me an email. I also have the slp quadtip package for sale (works with factory or some aftermarkets since I have both kits needd for it to work) just drop me a line and we'll work something out. Also, I have a few ac compressors, ac canister, ac condensor, and some various other things that I need to get rid of. How about a set of 16" stock firebird wheels with nittos mounted on them. Still have a little tread left.
See ya guys...I hope you guys have better luck than I.

Also what's the I.D. on the quadtip package? I need some tips for my T/A that will fit on 3" pipe. I really want the Mecham tips, but can't quite afford them.

SORRY SEAN...
BUT... At least it wasn't the converter that let you down! I would have felt WAAAAYYYY bad, then! Still, sorry to hear of your tranny's demise.
I, for one, will put in a vote to have it checked out and see how much to repair or possibly just buying one from a member or bone yard.
I've always used Mobil1 trans fluid and I have been racing the Redbird since 1995! I also run an auxillary trans filter in addition to the pickup filter. I don't know if these TWO things have helped or not, but I am sure they haven't HURT any!
Good Luck with your decision.

Were hoping to swap in a T56 in a few days, maybe over a weekend or something assuming he can get one. He hasn't had the best luck with autos so far and the T56 swap doesn't look hard at all...
