Hey Hugger73hatch?
Who built your trans? How many passes on it? How many freshenings if any? I'm curious! Tomorrow I'm pulling it out and going with a new case, probably for no reason, and starting over completely! Just because.. but now its like a slipping problem, acts like low fluid even when it's full. Dam tranny is female, i need to find a male case i guess.. Ha ha!!

Ive always run th350's I had one start slipping in high after about 4 years and one broke the sprag the very first time it went to the track.I had a friend build mine with a TCI reverse manual valve body and a Fram rebuild kit.Ran it behind 625 hp 454 3400# car no problems switched to 560hp small block 3150# car no problems and the last one which I still have was in a 3000#car but less that 500hp it just needed to be freshened because it sat for 4 years.

It was a friend of my father in laws down in Virginia Beach, but he died a couple of years ago so I will have to find someone else to build it when it needs it. The transmission was built sometime in 98 and still works good. Not sure how many passes on it, but I know it's a bunch. Always had a good trans cooler on it and keep fluid looking good.
