Thanks for all the good thoughts guys. As usual, you guys have made me feel better.

Damn man, what a *****. Sorry you had to go through that, and that there’s no obvious sign of the problem. At least you got it one (HUGE) step closer to being back in business. Good job showing the Beast who’s boss brother!! Git r done!

I have bench pressed many a NP 203 t-cases and A-727 transmissions into old Dodge trucks I owned back in the day. Those days are long ******* gone for me and I don't miss them a bit.

I called Performabuilt today and they said to just ship it in with a description of what happened. Sounds like they will cover it, real nice guys. So I pulled everything off it , drained it, double wrapped it and put it back in the box it came in. They gave me instructions on the converter, as far as draining it and checking for stuff as is drains. Also told me they will inspect the converter filter when they pull the trans apart and advise me if I need to send it to FTI. I pulled the pan and didn't see much in the way of junk, barely a few metal shavings and no clutch material. I thing something just broke inside. I have it loaded in the Tahoe, will drop off at UPS tomorrow. I tried creating a shipping label but UPS said "system error, try again later or call tech support"... I think the 120 lbs shipping weight broke their website.

I got the label to print today and dropped it off at UPS. $110 for 120 lbs of fun shipped to Pennsylvania.
