Bent/broke a push rod

[500hpgtx]

The forward band broke on my grand prix. The part was in the trans pan. The same forward band broke in our Transport, and in my friends Grand Prix.

I bought a 300m forged input shaft and a larger 3rd gear piston. The horse power(150+ nitrous hit) broke the trans chain prior, and it will sheer off the stock input shaft.

Guess you did not chip a piston?

Nope piston looks good.

Is the tranny something you'd fix yourself? I've never done more than remove one. Good luck either way.

Why don't my 2 other pics show up? Is there a 2 pic max?

I've got a question.

With using the Torque to yield bolts the manual says to use TTY angle gauge. Is this totally necessary or is there a recommended torque I can use in lieu of the gauge?
I have one I borrowed from a buddy but at the angle of some of these bolts it looks like it’ll be a real PITA to use.
Thx

I would use the angle gauge. Do you have the engine pulled forward? Another thing. Change your valve guide seals at this time.

Had a valve job done while I had it apart. All's good except for a P0171 Pontiac - Fuel Trim System Lean Bank 1.
