>Does anybody have any advise?
Yep, but you and others on the list may not like it. I had to rebuild a 2004R twice last year for the same reason. These little smog car four speeds are not made for anything over 250hp....even when they are rebuilt by so called performance companies, they rarely put in the HD components necessary to give them the strength they need to handle the big torque numbers. The first thing they miss is the HD pump and the second is usually the stator. They also rarely put in the HD servo unit. My 200 (even after the second rebuild by an expert company) wasn't nearly as crisp a shifter as my TH-350 in the Elky.
Anyway, the way I see it is either can the tranny and get one made by a major company (unless that's where you bought it from in the first place) that will stand behind it. If the one you have had a problem the first 150 miles, it'll probably not be much better the second time around. You could have it redone locally, but then it might cost you up to $1600.
My advice? Get rid of the toy tranny and get yourself a good TH-400. I know it'll hurt gas mileage, but did you really build your car for mileage? If the answer is yes, then you might have to give them a shot at repairing it, but I'd rather gamble the Cowboys winning the Super Bowl next year than that!
