Was out enjoying the nice weather beating on my car. Took off from a light hard and instead of hitting second gear it bounced to the rev limiter. Now no movement in any gear forward or reverse. Didn't make any noise or anything. Just won't move. Sitting along the road waiting for a flat bed to get me home. Gee , I WAS having a good day until a few minutes ago. Any ideas as to what broke?

When in doubt, Whip it out ! -

That is possible. Going to look and see if the driveshaft turns. But it made no noise when it broke.When in doubt, Whip it out !Comment

Rear is probably fine.
Losing all gears makes me think you exploded the vane rotor in the pump.

Have a new SS3600 Yank converter I was going to get in. Guess it will be going in soon nowWhen in doubt, Whip it out !Comment

Trans only has 12k miles on it. Was rebuilt by Joel's on Joy. Had been shifting perfectly. Would always get a nice squawk when shifting into second at full throttle. Only shifts at 6000. Had tuner keep it a little on the safe side.When in doubt, Whip it out !Comment

I saw your post on LS1tech. MrVedit is local and helped me a lot with my build. If you're thinking of taking on the task yourself, here is my build thread(I just built my trans in September).

Update. Turns out it was the pump. Blew itself up. Should have car back in a couple of days.When in doubt, Whip it out !Comment

Converter is probably full of shrapnel. I had a new Yank SS3600 to put in anyway. Thank goodness that converter wasn't in when the pump blew up. The old converter was a Dacco 2800 stall. Might see if it would be cost effective to get it cut and cleaned.When in doubt, Whip it out !Comment

For sure, at least it self destructed now! That converter should help wake it up a bit, at least from what I have read.Comment
