Might have been something other than tranny fluid catching on fire. I'm telling you, I couldn't get it to burn using a torch so until a forensic tech shows me a report that a vehicle burned down because tranny fluid caught on fire, I'm not buying it.
Why am I not surprised you’re trying to light transmission fluid on fire?!?! Lol

I'm not sure if I caused damage to the trans when the cooler line popped off last weekend, but the trans slipped last night going into 4th. I was on my way to the shop this morning when 1st started slipping. A bad omen. Turned around and called for a tow. Thank God for AAA.

It's never gotten that hot before.

200 is better than 300 on that gauge :)

i feel like i could mess up my transmission just by driving crazy. im always paranoid about it. i suppose its inevitable at some point. it really sucks having to deal with things like this. but it will pan out somehow. wishing for the least amount of heartache for ya

Thx Pete. Sometimes I wonder if I should've just left it stock. But, as a fellow car guy you know how hard that would've been!
