Just finished getting beat to hell in the compact class. I ran an 83 Chevy Cavalier 2.0 auto. The body held up absolutely great compared to the others. I stopped moving after some hard hits. My left front tire was off the bead so I hoped the rim was spinning in the tire but there was no smoke. Several spectators said the rim wasn't moving. They towed me out and I started it and actually drove it onto the trailer. It had plenty of fluid. It's in good shape to run again next year assuming I put in a new tranny. I've done everthing to cars except tear into a auto trans. I would love to take it out make it bullet proof (if even for just
1st and reverse) weld up the spiders and put it back in. Any tips on what typically goes wrong with this type of tranny? Are these weak trannys? (I know these are extreme conditions!)- posted
