.....for a few days. After a hard launch my car wouldn't go into gear--2nd time this happened. The first time it happened was after I did sprints and donuts in the car with vosko. LUCKILY I was about 200 feet away from T&R Racing, and we found that the clutch fork is messed up. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

Nah, it's just a wear item. Every time you push in the clutch it wears a little bit.

If only my car had enough power to break something......

treceb 02-18-2002 12:27 PM

it better be done by saturday...

13BAce 02-18-2002 01:16 PM

Well, here's an update: My clutch is stuck to the flywheel, and it's completely worn out, along with the flywheel. Now I know why my car felt a little down on power. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png So now I'll be going with a stock flywheel, which should give me better straightline performance.

You must be the failure analysis guy around here...you get to see just how much abuse all these parts can take.

When they took the pressure plate off the clutch was stuck to the flywheel. Usually they fall right off. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

I think that I may not have broken in the clutch well enough. I got a good deal on everything today, but I'll be getting a nice bill in a few weeks. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/angry.png

We'll try to break the transmission input shaft. That's a tough one. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/devil.gif
