Fine/course shredded planets

[metalstorm]

My front planets decided they had enough.


These are only the 3 pinion from A&A though and I went with the 5 planet gear this time and an upgrade in RMVB to a low band apply.

The in/out shafts were stuck together more than 2 dogs in heat.

I had the A&A billet drum and planets put in in 2008 but it looks like I should have gone with more planets to begin with.I went with a whole new trans from another builder and did some upgrades.

Metal,

Is the 3900# weight just of your car, or does it include you in it? Is gas included as well?
