DUDE!! I have had 2 blown c-4 auto trans... i blew out the main input shaft, count it, 2 TIMES in under 2 months!! I feel your pain RED!! Dude... i just had my father come and get me instead of driving backwards for about 5 miles... LMAO!! that is really funny thinking back on it... i guess that 340hp 302 was going to eventually take out my trans I've rebuilt that damn thing 3.5 times... yeah 3.5 times in the last 3 years of owning it (1: $500 cheap rebuild-what did i expect? 2:trans blew, per shop did overhaul for $1800 3: towed car back to per shop to rebuild for free 4: trouble with trans, replaced valvebody). I've NEVER HAD any problems with my engine (well... except valvetrain, but that doesn't count :|) but i'm loosing faith in the c-4 trans... is this just a fluke?
