[QUOTE="bigcountry78, post: 3380, member: 17"] Hey hotrod how did you get started with automatics? I'd love to learn how to build them. Anyway my story is about my 400. I was with my cousins on some back roads one night, rolled up to a stop sign and when I took off I noticed the truck was really slow. Took a couple more stop signs to realize it was just stuck in third gear and wasn't dropping down to first when I stopped. It ended up making the 70 mile drive home just fine, and the next day I figured out it would shift fine until it got hot and that's when if started acting up. Dropped the pan and found a whole bunch of clutch material, so I took it to a local shop that kept it for 6 weeks, and charged me $1200 to fix it.this was at 160k miles. At 199k it started slipping again so the next day I got up and traded it in. Pretty much gave it away for 3k when all it needed was a transmission. I'll never make that mistake again. It was a great truck too, reg cab short bed, 5.7, z71, true dual 40's, 285's. Man I was stupid. [/QUOTE]
