Well, it finally happened...
my tranny gave out today 
after abusing the hell out of it when I had the vortech to and beating on it with the twins, it was only a matter of time...I wish it held out for another month, but things don't always go as planned 
It all started this morning when I shifted into 5th in MM mode and the car shifted, but the rpm's didn't drop....I then had issues accelerating and the car would jerk and not always go into gear. I've also had a terrible ticking noise coming from the tranny and it sounds like it's going to explode
The car runs, and I can drive it around for a few miles, but then the tranny tells me it's had enough and makes the car go into limp mode.
Time for a new tranny, a build, and moar powa!!!
Has anyone else blown their 5AT tranny? What were your symptoms?

My John Kilgore TH400 works great in my '69 Pro-Touring Camaro.
Right behind a LS6 454...
...if it can take that much "power", I'm pretty sure that it will
handle the VQ's power...

Has anyone else blown their 5AT tranny? What were your symptoms?
