Message	After seeing the power output on my car everyone was asking how long until the tranny went. Well, it only takes about 140 miles. I did a full boost (20PSI) run on the highway last night from about 60 mph and when it was over 3rd gear was non-existent. Not really sure what I am going to do now...I was really hoping to not put any money into the car for a little while. I'M A HOOKER . My other ride is a CH-47D "Chinook" helicopter.
