I began having problems with my new toy Grand Prix's transmission

so we started digging in.
Turns out the last owner tried to rebuild the trans himself and forgot to put the seals in it...bad bad news

While we were rebuilding we changed the trannie gearing a little for more torque.

My OMG WTF moment became an upgrade on the cheap...

We upgraded the torque in a huge way.....cost me 475

I would imagine this 6 cylinder will go sub 12 in the 1/4 now

Not bad for a stock engine v6 with just air intake and chip and gearing work
