Sucks about the trans damage.

I was running one of those F-body performance front loops, the type that attach to the trans mount. In the past, I couldn't figure a way to use the lakewood universal loop I had for the rear. I was just looking in my Quarter-Max catalog at diffrent rear loops and even tunnels. Yeah, this sucks but it's part of the game. I'm just trying to learn from it and share my "luck" in hopes to help others not to have the same such luck.
