OK gents... had to take a deep breath after yesterday's failed launch of the Valiant. Transmission ate **** and smoked... never really got our of first gear. Hard shift into second at about 4000 rpm... plume of smoke and left with 1st and Reverse only.
Ummm stupid question, you had that rebuilt right? Did you double check the shop put in the dual pump filter? It’s been a very common mistake made by even the most reputable shops
