If you keep going you will eventually slip c2 or c3 enough you will find out all about "tie up". Then you can look forward to twisting splines, replacing planetaries, etc.

did you hear that? yeah that was the sound of you burstin my bubble on everything. i'm gonna run the risk and if somethin blows up i'll pay to fix it. if i get this new job i should be makin alot more money pretty quick. i'm gonna hope the truck can last about 3 months. by then i'm hopin to have about 3 grand to put towards a tranny.

oh and i said screw it and i'm still ***** to the wall on my 5th tune
