For no reason and at about 30 MPH I blew a valve body plate gasket. It locked up the rear tires until I shifted it back tp 2nd. My transmission man told me it probably blew the gasket causing pressure to bleed over into reverse and locking up. He was spot on. He suggested I put it back together without gaskets on either side. Has any of you experienced anything similar? I've driven and raced it for a couple years with no issues until this.

Gaskets? We don't need no stinkin' gaskets....Check with the MVB manufacturer to be sure. Unless it is a Trans-go or some other add on kit.
