1st pass = clutch slippppppppppppppp!

We're back at the shop removing the tranny allready! Mike will comment in a few when he's done getting his hands dirty. It's his turn now to get them dirty so I get to sit behind the PC and play now!

PS. This is Chris logged on Mike's user name!

Good luck. Sounds like HRB or line failure.

Are you guys heating up the discs with the ebrake before the launches?

Mike, you have a spare for everything.... It's crazy... I had someone call me on my cellphone and put it on speaker phone when you ran and you could hear the slip man..

I know you TRUE RACERS don't let night stop you and you guys swapped it out just like that... You guys are nuts driving all the way back and then changing it. I know, it just couldn't wait till morning


You guys are Hard Core!!!!

Needed to change shims in it finally.. it held beautiful on the dyno.. These clutches go from perfect to slip in 1 pass.. They dont just start to slip unfortunately.. Tilton can rebuild them for a minimal fee atleast...

good to know, this is my first tilton. The exedy twin HD never slipped even though it was completely out of pedal adjustment and worn down to nothing, it just wouldn't allow clean shifts and was dragging badly....I'm not used to that.

Car is loaded up and we are leaving for EVO Land, OHIO in 10 hours.. We never got to test the car because it rained on 2 attempts going to 2 tracks.. We will be testing the car at Norwalk on Wed if we get up there in time, on schedule.. Wish us luck guys!! Well See those of you that are going very soon!!

Mike
