because it has to deal with how the cable attaches to bracket. What you are doing is adjusting how the cable lays in the engine compartment. if you just move the T/B then you need a longer t/b.

so basically i need to move the bracket my cable is hooked in foward is what your saying. that appears to me what the small bracket does.

But if i push the TB shut it stays shut on its own until i hit the throttle. then that big gear in the CC motor spins shut and sticks the throttle open about 20%.

Also now my car hard starts, which its got alot of timing in it but it has never had this problem, also the tach wont work. Anybody thinking that my CPS went bad?

correct. that will solve the throttle issue. if the cps went bad, the car shouldn't start at all and you should have a check engine light.

At least I'm not the only person in Indy waiting on parts. lol

I just got the TSP 1 7/8" LT's Monday and My Stall back from Yank Tuesday.

I finished up the Line lock and ABS Delete on the Z today, and plan on putting the transmission, wiring harness, and accessories back on the car this week. And tying up all the loose ends by next month. So all I have to do is put the MWC Fab 9 in and get an allignment and tune. Then I'll be ready to rock out!
Oh I still need to order my Driveshaft and Anti-Roll Bar from MWC too!

It's gettin closer guys'

Damn man that sucks! Was there any kind of warranty with the rebuild? I would have an issue with any shop not performing the work I requested because THEY thought it wasn't needed. Bullshit......my car, my choice. I had a similiar issue with my old t/a and the trans. Had to take it back 3 times before it got right (and that only lasted 2 months). It kept burnin up clutch packs and the shift solenoids kept failing. Have you contacted the builder since the problems started? I would'nt waist anytime, get on his *** about gettin it squared away and running right.

WOW!!! That's some BS man! WTF is up with people here lately. I keep hearing about people scamming people. Now I'm getting Pissed Off!

If you need a transmission built that will hold, PM me!
My guy will have it done this week and give you a 6k mile or 6 month warranty (whichever occurs first) And he has been building them for 15 years. He knows his ****. He works at a local Tranny shop (he's the main guy/ Only Tranny Builder there) and he builds them at home for cheaper.
If your interested, I'll find out a price and lyk. Or I can give you his number and you can talk with him yourself! For a fresh rebuild and to have it beefed up, Your probably looking at about 700-800 with a warranty and thats for the upgrades you want and a complete overhaul kit. (Wide Bands, HD Clutches, Beast Sunshell, Shift Kit, New lip seals-pump seal,tailshaft seal, etc) Basically a complete overhaul with upgraded parts. He built my transmission and It held up fine. Right up til last October and It finally broke. But it wasn't his fault. My 3-4 drum broke and since I haven't been able to find an aftermarket 1 I guess I'm kinda screwed lol. But he replaced it and rebuilt it for the cost of parts and didn't charge me any labor. AND he gave me another Warranty! He's a great guy. LMK man!

Wondering who the Black Camaro that rev'd at me on 31 today was?! Member here? Thought it was Benny for a sec, but had a SS spoiler not a Z28... Sounded good though.

BTW The PT4000 converter is insane, compared to my SS3600 jesus!!! Think it puts it in the powerband of the cam a hell of a lot better.

You guys tear it up in Greenwood tonight?, it clouded over early and the weather kinda took a ****.

Yeah-Travis raced the other Camaro that looked like yours. He ran him thru the walls as you and Amber were running. BTW Good Race man! I thought you were gonna eat us alive, But I've been helping Amber with her shifting and she is getting ALOT better. She's only missed 3rd about 3 times. I'm shocked! But she doesn't know what gear to drop down in when she's roll racing so I'm still helping her with that!

TA 4 Life: has anyone ever seen/heard a stalled m6 car yet???!!!!

This is true! LOL
I have never seen a stalled M6 til last night riding wnext to Travis hahaha!
All you hear is wot then rpm's drop then raise, then drop, then grab and go! Tires squealing and all, lol!
Car runs pretty good tho Travis!

Joey! WOW Man, I can't wait to get my car up like that man. Pic looks killer bro!
Congrats on that best pass and for lifting the wheels. I bet it feels good huh?
I'm jealous now, hahaha!

Ben! Man those Fkn tires are insane bro! If you have problems hooking on the street with those, There is something seriously wrong hahaha. Glad you got it all together and are happy with it. Now get some more fuel in it, and crank da boost up hahaha. 800+rwhp, 700+rwtq.
