Ok so i was driving to fred meyer to get some food... and it was raining soo hard core.. every where i went i peeled out through 4th. I stop at a light and try to put it into first and it wont go in.... I miss the light and finaly get in to gear.. i start going and it does it again... so when i finaly get moving again i am about 40 miles per hour my car locked up compleatly... and i no joke slid 20-30 feet untill i stopped... MY tranny is toast... does anybody have a b series tranny for sale?

Ouch! If you were running the tranny with low fluid I'm sure that had something to do with it. Try calling hmotors, pretty sure they'll have what you need. Good time to get one with lsd if you didn't have it before. :D

Wow dude im so sorry to hear that. I can't help out but at least your car is still kinda in one piece and that you are okay. Going 40 and your car locking up isnt safe, IMO! :)
