hahah!

Yeah, I'm totally having some slippage issues now. I noticed on Monday during a few throttle mashing momments on the way home from work. When I finally got home I got a good whiff of what's left of the clutch. I can shift through the gears ok, but any mashing of the throttle becomes counterproductive.

I haven't launched the car yet, and I don't think I want to until I get this issue resolved.

New lightweight flywheel and new exedy stage I (or II) coming soon.

Man, this will never end.

The good news you wonder…

Well let’s say I just upgraded my garage totally obsolete tiny radio to a one of a kind mega blast dream come true ultra ghey smooth jazz music radio 80’s boomboxes garage wall. The clutch/flywheel swap should take @ 4 hours give or take how much you bitch about my music selection.
Ear plugs, or I can bring my headphones and an iPod and we'll both be happy

Sure bring all your safety equipment and fancy state of the art sound equipment. I must warn you that it could get very loud. See what happened to my garage door window.

BTW, let’s not get too happy while working in the garage if you know what I mean.

Negative Ghost Rider. I have my own way to plug all the boomboxes and I do tape the breaker in the on position. So far, so good.

well found out that the mazsport double resonated midpipe(love it) will not allow the beat rush trans brace to be used---it hangs too low and the brace will not clear it---anyone want one at a discount?

the midpipe is too big to allow the brace to fit--hangs too low and one re senator is in the wrong place.
so i have an axial flow short shifter and beat rush trans brace for sale!!!

yea i like it, ran it for over 2 yrs. but as i was waiting for an updated **** i placed my oem one back in and i found out that the a s s likes a trans in which the synco's are in good shape.
when they are not---like mine--it makes it noisier and 4 th gear grinds. with the oem --now my old trans is quiet and doesnt grind.

OD, have you upgraded your clutch pedal yet? I also had grinding in 4th, as well as the AFSS, and the grinding went away once I installed a reinforced pedal.

If the trans is grinding, then it is grinding. If one shifter masks the sound of it, it doesn't mean it isn't happening still!!

Cheers,
Hymee.
