Default Killin Me!!!!

I hate to say this but I think I'd rather drive my auto. This traffic **** is killin me. Is it just me or is everyones cammed M6 a bitch to drive in traffic. Shuddering...jerking and ****. .

Sorry guys.. just venting. If your car is cammed and doesn't do any of the above in traffic give me your specs on clutch, etc. and I'll change it ASAP.

thanks

Mine does surprisingly well for its size (TSP 231/237). It does have some shuddering and jerking, but a lot of that has to do with the clutch... my clutch chatters a slight bit in stop and go traffic, or it it just grabs hard and jerks forward. If I slip the clutch just right though, I can idle forward without much surging at all.

Sometimes it's a pain I agree, but I'm used to it.

So I guess its just a "gotta live with it" thing huh. Well I didn't get it tuned yet so hopefully that will help. I only got a HotCam in it.

I had a Spec 3 just before this clutch. I installed this one in Feb. My SPEC 3 lasted 10k ***. JK. Yeah its hit or miss with those clutches. I wonder if all after market clutches are like that.
