I just got my car less than a month ago. I went to the track twice with it & ran shitty times. Mid to low 14s then low 14s to high 13s. Part of it was getting used to shifting the T56 at the track. The other problem I ran into was anytime I tried to do a 3000 rpm launch the car wouldnt shift. If I left from an idle, it shifted better. I did miss 3rd a few times the first time I went, that was with the shitty Hurst rubber bushing shifter handle. I do have a pro 5.0 shifter on the way, but after reading about this drill mod, it appears this may be the problem.

That & a stock clutch still?

I would think it is. The trans was rebuilt before I got it so I wouldnt imagine its the original clutch in there, prolly a factory replacement. The clutch feels like its pretty good, just acts wierd at the track likeI said.

i'm about to do the drill mod. i've got an adustable master to install while i'm at it. just curious, you said it wouldn't shift when you were trying to launch? you mean it wouldn't shift into second after you launched?

Yea, or 3rd or any gear after I did a pretty good launch.

oh ok, just making sure i read that right. my main problem is getting into 3rd. it usually grinds when shifting at high rpms. i hope it works for both of us.

Word to the wise; stock style clutches are prone to this.
They hand up at high RPM's & cause the pedal to get crappy or even stick.
That & put a lot of heat in the clutch hydraulic's. Do the drill mod & see how it goes, but be prepaired alot have been here done that.

Is the drill mod needed on the 02's?

hndakilr

slightly better design in 01-02 but in my opinion if your doing work on your clutch or master you better do it while your in there

i'm doing mine today. i got some heat wrap to put over the hydrolic lines as well to keep them from getting too hot.
