This is what I don’t understand about the torque management on launch. The higher gears put more stress on the parts than first so why are they protecting the wrong gears
Does the shock from dumping the clutch multiply the force or something?
I remember looking the tranny up before buying my car and thinking it was strange that it was rated for less power than the car is rated to make. I just assumed Chevy had upgraded them somehow after not seeing people complain about them breaking a lot.
Is an upgraded unit available?
Gl on the repairs OP, can only imagine what a beast that car must be
