transmission toast!

[jmt0645]

last tuesday headed home from work doing 55-60 down a normally busy road (although no traffic this day:shrug: {blessing}) out of no where RPM's go crazy, and i start coasting and smoking into a parking lot a few hundred feet down the road, shut off, get out and see trans fluid gushing out of the bell housing. after having it towed to a friends shop Anderson Auto Fix .com (http://www.andersonautofix.com), the front pump drive gear shattered tearing through the pump and seal, starved clutches and burned them up. Jimmy (owner/friend) can get me a deal on a Jasper performance reman, are these any good?:help: also, could my edge have caused so much desired pressure to weaken it? I know unlikely, but possible?

I certainly wouldn't start by blaming any programming for a pump gear failure.

I haven't heard any real opinions one way or another on Jasper's stuff.

Sorry to hear about the tranny toasting.:(
Its a pump failure and that does happen with or without tuners.
Give these guys a call if you want a built one:Transmissions (http://www.bc-automotive.com/html/transmissions.html)
The only other reman I'd suggest is ford itself.

Do you still need a transmission? If so let me know. I am picking up an engine next week that has a 2wd transmission connected to it. I have a 4wd so I do not need the tranny. It has 9k miles on it. Let me know :D

thanks, but already replaced with jasper monsterbox.
