|  Ever had this happen...
Has anyone ever had auto tranny problems to where it just didnt feel like you car was putting any power to the ground? well i know you have but my
00 WS6 will barely turn the tires over with TCS off!! and slips in 3rd - 4th. I ran it one time this year and went 9.79 @ 72 mph  thats all it had. I mean the motor sounds great, seems like its trying to pull hard but sumthin just wont let it. My car has a lid and flowmaster cb but otherwise stock. So basically all im wondering is..has anyone ever had this prob where your tranny was holding you back them had it rebuilt and ran it again and improved drastically???

I'm having almost the same problems. Car seems like its struggling sometimes, but I know the motor is in top shape.
But screw the rebuild, I'm ordering a trans from one of the sponsors here. I have a rebuilt one in my dad's Blazer and the damn thing whines like a cat in heat.

Well if there is a guy around you that you hear good things about then by all means go for it. But I'd find a car that he has rebuilt the tranny on and hear it go by..just to make sure. There are NO real good guys for it around my area so I would just feel much safer in the idea of having a brand spankin' new one
