Pulled my HTS Tranny with 3400miles

[DerekW]

hey I am looking to talk to the hts tranny builders here on TDR. I seem to have spent some coin on some stuff that only lasted 3400miles. Sry I am bypassing the dealer on this one as it is no longer in there hands as i have voided the dealer/installers warranty along with the HTS warranty.

I have a few questions for yal and a few things to show tdr members global. pics will be up later tommorow. I paid for a race tranny minus billet output and billet intermediate but asked for the best of the best no matter the price everywhere else in the tranny. now i have lots of scrap metal. so if a HTS tranny builder would contact me here i would appreciate it.

I have only pulled the OD housing off the back of the tranny and found so far:
clutches with no friction material and the steels that are burnt warped, have reminants of burnt aluminum on some pieces and reminants of burnt steel from the clutch pieces after the friction material wore off them.
lotsa of burnt and warped snap rings
burnt up torrington bearings
direct drive was the gear that worked the best out of the 4 and even it had black on the steels
aluminum OD piston is melted
planetary gear that the teeth are just starting to break apart. i caught it just in time after only part of one tooth broke. many more where are their way.
lets not even get into the fact that YOUR NOT SUPPOSED TO USE SHOP RAGS/TOWEL w/e in a tranny. of which i found debris in a nify hiding place.
and what about front band adjustment. you all had them set right from your facility i checked just a second ago but not after having to break out my impact gun to break the lockdown nut loose. torque spec on the lock down nut is 25 lbs but t40 torx and 3/4 wrench wouldnt do the trick. can you imagine at 30k miles making the scheduled band adjustment only to realise you you have a frame wiring and all sorts of linkage in the way of you having to the impact gun in there??? when prevenative maintenance isnt easy people tend wait till failure to service. a wise man once told me if you want something done right you gotta do it yourself.

that saying is very true in many cases. so here i am with my tranny sitting here next to me in the kitchen on the computer shop air running into the house. done cooked a digiorno pizza and eating it and tranny fluid. well hts folks chime in cuz i have a things to talk to you about and ask. dont worry i aint interested in you telling me how to repair this cuz i personally hated them calls myself while working at a shop.
