Thanks again bill for all the insight! Now that I have my car back I remember about a week or 2 ago I got a TCM code of p0717 (Turbine input sensor) being bad or something. When that code popped up and when I tried to downshift into 2nd or first the downshift would be extremely harsh. If I forgot to mention this car does have tap shift. Would this be a culprit to the forward band breaking? The code would go away if I tuned the car off and on again and it did not happen again. here is a picture of the band that was pulled from my car
