And yes, there are parts in the transmission which can fail and produce the problem you're talking about.
If you really are posting for a friend, get him to register and post with a description of what's going on. I'm not going to rely on a game of "telephone" to try and diagnose his problem.
And if you or your friend are racing on the street, be aware that all street racing discussions are banned on this site. Our Drag Strip forum is for sanctioned, legal racing only. Do not test our patience on this issue.
