Biggest mistake was not double checking the tranny fluid after a motor swap in which we had to drain the tranny fluid to pull it out etc. Driving it 60 miles without fluid and having it lock up on the howard franklin. Oh then doing a tranny swap and not double checking the tranny fluid, which my brother had conveniently drained without telling me AFTER it was installed. Drove about 30 miles tranny locked up next to gator ford. I drove it for like 4 months after that with 1st 3rd and 5th sometimes and other times i would have 2nd 4th and reverse

Needless to say the next tranny swap from that one to the MTX75 was much better, I did it at school. BY MYSELF
