    Nice pics...Glad you hung in there and hope all works well for you in the end.

    But just my opinion...your 18" wheels didn't kill your transmission. It was your style of driving. My car had 18s on it when I bought it, and the guy ran them for years (4+) like that. And I still have the original trans with no problems. So while 18s may put more stress on a transmission, it is ultimetly the style of driving (burnouts, powerjacking, hard shifts, etc) that will kill a tranny.

    IDK. I didnt really treat it like ****. I have owned it for three years and can count on one had how many times smoke has rolled out of the fenders. never drove it to hard. I did race some and peeled out sometimes but never tortured it. Now that i think back when i first got it. It was always a little slower than i thought it should be going from R to D. I put my 18's on and it didnt like those at all. Right after i got the 18's my rack took a dump. then the tranny started acting up. My 18's are 60lbs a piece. I just got a stock junkyard tranny. I am pretty sure it will take a **** on me too. but im prepared and ive been in contact with a certain member that we all know and love.
