I always noticed that, those vette owners never consider the dirt lodged between the intake and heads that the wrench has to vacuum out of there

LOL, thats what i was thinking when I pulled into the driveway. Don can pipe in but figure a clutch, tranny mounts, torque tube. At least it wasnt the tranny or the rear and I have no complaints about the twin disc spec, it lasted for almost 2 seasons. The torque tube is the real weakness in the vettes but then it was prob my fault racing a import in the cold weather and wheel hopped. Gotta watch my temper.

Brent's will be pulled apart and looked over.We will rebuild the clutch for the hell of it and hopefully that is the problem instead of another torque tube.

As for this Vette the engine is out.Engine looks real good too.After I check it out it will be for sale....
