Thought I would share my issue this was a surprise to me completely. Was seated incorrectly when my friend built it I guess.

Replaced this with an old one out of a trans that was sitting around and the car works flawlessly. Changed the band as well with a brand new one. Very impressed with the shifts and converter from IPT!

It's good to see that you've figured it out. I've been following this thread from the beginning as I have a transmission at home that has no 1st, 2nd or reverse. Is that the front drum that you found broken?

Yes sir the forward drum. I'm not sure how I didn't notice this the first time I had it out, perhaps I didn't take it apart far enough. Was a surprisingly clean break in the drum. I had a local transmission shop inspect the trans after and he said in 25+ years and rebuilding 50+ of these transmissions he hasn't ever seen something like this though. I'm pretty sure it's not common at all but I'm not sure.

Good job dude.

Got the car to 21psi tonight, just starting to come alive it blew away my old 16g and stock trans setup. Excited to see the results with E85 and 28-30psi!

Thanks for the help man!
