Hey guys.
The car I have now is a 42k mile car. Stock turbo, 80lb injectors, powerlogger, 3"dp, fuel pump, stock d5 converter, stock trans internals as far as I know. The car sat for years before I bought it. I checked and changed the fluid, among all of the other spring cleaning chores after purchase. I recently had the engine rebuilt, after which the car ran/shifted fine. I've driven it about 1100 miles since then.
The trans is fine around town. It behaves totally normal. I finally got the car ready enough to do some WOT runs to check everything out. The car gets to the end of first and stays there until the throttle is released. The TPS and TV are adjusted, the fluid and filter are new, and it just started this behavior recently.
****I noticed when I pulled the pan today that circle magnet in the pan was broken. It appears all of the chunks are there, but this seems like it could have let debris into the trans. My questions are: Has anyone had this happen before? Is the trans definitely shot? If not, will it help at all to flush and refill it and add a new filter? Thanks to the trans gurus in advance.
EDIT: Boost is limited to 15psi on an aftermarket gauge.
I will put up a powerlogger file of the run in a few minutes. I've been in and out of the TR scene since 2006. This is my third GN, so I'm not a total n00b.
