No Cf5 For Me :(

[Mopar408 22]

Well boys and girls....I'm out for CF5 for sure now. After picking up my car last week from BFNY, I brought it back to get the exhaust adjusted as it was a little too tight, vibrating a little bit, and making noise on bumps and such. Well, after Erik adjusted a few things, we uncovered a new sound. Pulled the drain plug on the trans and yep -- metal in the fluid. The trans had less than 100 miles on it and none of my patented launches . Simply driving from BFNY to my house and back. Needless to say, I'm bummed. Nothing anyone did wrong other than the trans shop that rebuilt it. It will get addressed in short order, just not in time for CF5.

If there was a silver lining, I was going to bust ass early next week as I just sold my old house (thank god) and need to get my stuff out of there, so now I will have time to get that done with out killing myself. Also, got to meet Bill (bluebyubill) who was a nice guy and will have a wild 6spd ride at CF5.

So....anyone want to buy the 6speed they are sending back fixed? maybe it is time to eat a burrito and go fast.

So sorry you won't be able to make it to CF5. Was looking forward to seeing the 6 speed get a 10 sec pass.

[StevoHemi 113]

Dang... so sorry to hear this mate.

Good luck with the repair.

It was a pleasure to meet you Rob. I 'm sorry about your transmission and that you won't be at CF5. Your car certainly sounded seriously badassed! Ben and Erik will get it straightened out.

[Mopar408 22]

Thanks Bill.....Erik and Ben are great.....no worries about that at all. I'm just reflecting on the fact that when they get it back, it will be the fourth time a "new" trans has been in the car.

[Hemi31 194]

Wonder how fast it would be with an auto......mwahahahahaha. Seeing that metal come out with the nice clean fluid really sucked Rob. We'll get it back to Rockland and make sure they step up.

[Speedy 247]

Dang man that sucks. I just put an RPM 6 Speed Trans in mine in mine and it's butter. Is that who built yours, I've forgotten.

[toofart 148]

Damn, that sucks. You'll get her on the straight and narrow.

[Renfrick1 83]

That sucks rob. We'll miss you this year.

[J-Z 17]

[HemiSam 188]

Sorry to hear that, buddy. We'll miss ya in Bowling Green. If you get bored, bring your regular ride and come get your drink on...

[BayouTiger 88]

Sorry to hear, Rob. You'll be missed.

[capt.albator 2]

Man, you can't catch a break I wish you the best on the next transmission and a trouble free move to the new house.

[HemiSam 188]

I communicated with the lead tech at Rockland...a lot. Great guy but they can be a bit of a mess. I'm wondering whether you tried to go with a 9310 option they were working on but had some issues with initially.

[novawagonmaster 62]

Wonder how fast it would be with an auto......mwahahahahaha.

[novawagonmaster 62]

Sounds about right.
