I go into 2nd for a split second and take it out. I heard a snap and lost power steering.... I knew right away it was the belt....no big deal.. I pull over to pull the belt off and limp it home like that... I noticed red fluid all over the place... shit. Transmission fluid...I hop in the car... start it up and push the clutch in to put it in 1st.... it would not go in any gear..I turn the car off put it in 1st and then turn it on.... car jumps forward...Clutch wasn't doing shit I guess.. I limped the broken car home like that..I get home and look... oh sweet its not tranny fluid... it's power steering fluid.I guess the belt snapped and maybe split the p/s line? I haven't looked too far into it.I look at the tranny and between the flex plate or whatever I see pieces of something... looked like it was off the clutch or pressure plate.I am thinking my SPEC 3 is toast.... and my car grinded EVERYTIME I shifted to 5th gear.... no matter what... full throttle.. babying it.... it didn't matter.I have been looking into doing a T56 or TKO600.... I hear TKO600s don't like to rev high.. and the T56 is just pretty damn expensive.Anyone buy a Promotion Powertrain T45?That paired with a 11 Mcleod Kit (supposedly good to 650hp)$389 for the clutch kit and $1390 for the beefy T45....$1800 for a clutch kit and beefy transmission where as the T56 alone is more than that...BTW: The car is a drag car only.... just a weekend toy... I don't need the 6th gear from the t56 for highway cruising..</blockquote>
