Cool Moment of silence for my tremac

I have had to hold it third, this started long before my car sat up for too years. Well today it popped even with me holding it in. It sounded like I was rear ended (BOOM) I guess I'll order a third gear and 3-4 blocking ring and a rebuild kit. It has 100,000 miles on it and all of them are HARD ONES. NOS, SLICKS, and a bunch of jamming here and there, 4 motors, missed gears, you name it this trannys seen it. I guess this means that I will not run those new slicks wed or fri of this week.
