Default And it continues!!!

So I now have a forged motor. Still in the process of getting out some bugs (lumpy idle, some flat spots, super noisy bov, etc). Now, I am basically terrified of this car. Makes 576whp...... hottest I've driven is nailing 4th to ~ 4800 rpm. I've also brought 3rd to about 5,000 to nothing more than wheel spiin. Supercharger..........
Here's where it gets good (some may have read my earlier rants about my blown motor...)
Been driving her to work....put some miles on and get out the kinks. Coming home, 6th gear and a steady ~ 75- 80mph.....pop....bam.
Now at side of road awaiting AAA. Motor runs fine. It's now a drivetrain issue!! Sweet stuff! Even in neutral.....release clutch and car grinds a slow forward direction.
Sounds like a defective tranny to me! Hope not. I'll let you know.

Never should have gone to Carlisle
