I bet when you first started racing you were perfect, even tho you havnt done a thing yourself in decades, just stop! Go polish the wheels for your son it’s probably all you’re actually good at, or maybe use your mouth for polishing some knobs I’m sure your perfect at that too!

High gear is completely gone now. No reverse, no high. I shifted into high on the first qualifying run this morning and had nothing. I’ve got a beat on another trans to pick up on the way home. I’m still gonna go up there for first round as 1 and 2 are still totally solid. A very very disappointing first event, but I’ll fix it and be back in 2 weeks! This class racing thing has been unbelievably humbling. Managed a 14.12 off the 13.00 with no 3rd gear.

Ed, thanks for reading my post. What part of the Truth and Facts don't you
like. I wouldn't expect you to understand that line, as it contained something God didn't Bless you with, HUMOUR.

J.R. first there's nothing funny about wishing someone has a "serious medical event".

Next please don't use words you don't know how to spell, worse yet when you put them in caps!

Ed, I'm sorry you live in your little cave, and are not very worldly. I'm not surprised. Humour, or humor in the US way of spelling it, is actually spelt the way I spell in my country. So, not a mistake, just the proper English way of spelling it. So, wrong again, and it's early in the day. That will give you plenty of time to make other errors. I've noticed you have taken time to be critical of my last few posts, but didn't didn't mention I'm trying to help a fellow S/SS racer who is just getting going. I guess some people see the glass half empty(YOU) and some people see it half full(ME). You know, once you got your head out of your *** on the other post, you actually gave some very good information on trans fluid. We know you're knowledgeable, why not try to be helpful instead of being the all knowing critic of everything.
It's easier on everybody that way.

The true spirit of Stock Eliminator is to build a car from scratch within the rules in you own shop using your skills and time. Just getting a car to the track is an a accomplishment most never achieve.

You've done you're best and should be proud of what you've accomplished. This trans issue is just new car blues.

Advice:
Pay attention to details.
Everything takes 4 hours minimum
You don't have to have the absolute finest equipment buy what you can afford with your end goal in mind.
Ask questions from those knowledgeable at least try everything a seasoned racer suggests then report back the results. There may be more than one step in the process. No one likes an askhole.

One last thing: To be trashed on the internet is indication you are doing something right. Look at it as an honor and compliment.

A friend of mine went a bunch of rounds at Bradenton beating some people he was not supposed to. His car is deadly he is a very good driver. When I saw him a week later brought it up. At the time he wasn't real happy about it so I started laughing saying dude they finally noticed you when you sent them to their coolers plus they trashed you on the internet. You've made it to the elite of big money bracket racing. A bunch of us were together we all had a good laugh.

We all know a person is not going to burn up reverse backing out of a pit area. However, if you often shift it into neutral after the run and your shifter is a bit out of adjustment that's how this happens.

I'll bet it is the reverse clutches like you've described. That said, I don't think what you've described caused it. I have a standard pattern valve body so I have to let it wind down through the shutdown in 3rd gear as it's the last shift location on my set-up
