M6 acting up? I have a 2001 SS with 81k miles with original everything, except replacement of diff fluid at 50k.
I had the transmission checked at a local cottman transmission and they stated it was fine :S Just let it go util the clutch gives out.
Problem:
This sounds just like what the drill mod fixes with high revs and losing pressure and making shifting impossible. It used to be at just high/fast reving from a launch, but now just driving and stomping it to get around cars ( which never used to happen ) I lose pressure.
So am kinda confused, transmission shop said it was fine, fluid was a little dark but not bad for 81k miles.
I have gone through clutches before in other manual cars and this is nothing like that, its a bitch to get into gears but once there its just fine. No slipping or loss of power, no burning clutch smell.
So take it somewhere else for a second opinion?
Drill mod and replace the fluid?
I know the clutch has had better days with 81k miles on her, but its not acting like a burned out clutch at all, more like the master/slave died.
Any suggestions would be appreciated..
[edit] forgot to add - pumping the clutch brings pressure back 3 or 5 pumps and its just like new again. Leg will look like a fiddler crab if I dont getthis working soon
