ENGINE REVVED, SLAMMED INTO GEAR AND WENT APPROX. 30 FT. OCCURRED 3 MORE TIMES AND HAD TO BE TOWED. TRANSMISSION SHOP STATED THAT "OVERDRIVE SNAP RING BROKE INSIDE MAIN INPUT DRUM ASSEMBLY AND THE FORWARD DRUM ASSEMBLY BLEW UP" RESULTING IN NEED TO REBUILD TRANS., REPLACE ALL CLUTCH PLATES AND TORQUE CONVERTER.
