Sounds like the planetary or sunshell went, time for a rebuild.

Sorry about your luck, but welcome to the forum.

I'm assuming your brother is going to upgrade the internals, too. I'd did that when I did my trans and parts cost upwards of $500, with the front and rear planetaries, and the beast sunshell, plus rebuild kit. Get the 5 pinion planetary for the input side, and check out the shift re programming kit, of fix kit. Also check out the corvette servo. All this stuff will get you a decent shifting tranny, that should last for the rest of the vehicle life. Unless you start boosting power. Lol.

Good luck.
