Yeah that may have done it but it also may not be the tranny. Did you run it deep into the red when you drove like an idiot?

No, your 4-spd is slow. Speak for yourself.

Mine will spin the tires slightly on launch if I power brake and have the traction control off. I shift manually and have not had any transmission problems. I have Frankencar intake and y-pipe and b-pipe. Car is not as fast as I would like, but it is an auto. 3.5 would be nice but I love my AE.
