I dunno Mike. The last time when he showed up to Hall's with his dogs was pretty damn entertaining. Especially when he slammed on the brakes. Hahaha.

Tony, I'll meet up with ya at the gas station @24, that def sounds better than 30


last time i was there there was grass growing in the end of the track granted this was 2 years ago so it may be different now. my stock gt at the time went 15.3 with a 2.3 60'. normally a stock gt will do 14.3s. if there are going to be some quick cars there they may prep it better and they may have also done work to the track since i have been there

My dogs are cool...I am training them to drive 6-speed so we can FINALLY get at the bottom of this whole Darren/Clutch/Tranny issue!

lol, ridiculousness, i wish my dog was that talented. he's scared of my cars. i start them and he runs far and fast (well, kinda fast, he's starting to have problems with his hips, getting old). haven't even driven any of my cars in a while, hardly seems worth it. never seems to be anyone out anymore...not to mention it's been cold as hell lately.

Whats hard to understand?? wanna see the parts list??

It was a simple statement....not sure I need to justify it with you or anyone else for that matter... but here you go.

Since the clutch install, I have had the Pilot bearing replaced, new slave, and tried Snapp's Ram adjustable master. I broke a billet key for 4th gear and had to have it fixed, and now synchro issues as well. Rodney from RPM thinks this is do to an engagement/disengagement problem, which is making it hard to shift from 2-3 and 3-4 under wot. Nothing is being stated other than that.

If you have any ideas about it and would like to share them...please do. You know my number.

Rock beats scissors.
Scissors beats paper.
But when paper covers rock, it leaves it unscathed.
The rock comes out unharmed.
So they should change it to rock, dynamite with cutable wick, and scissors.

Just my thoughts.

I feel your pain, I'm on my 3rd transmission so I can't contribute.

If D had good luck and no problems with the 6-speed that would be an option. That ******* car has been through so may problems nothing is fun about it anymore I imagine! He has gone through so many clutches, tranny's, etc its not funny. A built auto and matched converter would not break, would be much more fun, believe me!!!

A 6 speed is fun but not as much as winning races! There is NO 6 speed that will outdrive a good built auto with converter for 1/4 mile racing.

What is this 1/4 mile racing you speak of and when did people start doing this?

Racing is like butter, it's better on a roll

2X - Put an Auto in it and be done, No more slave cyl issues or clutch issues. Just put it in gear and go.

Meh, some of us build cars to drive, not just race. I spend ~500-1000 miles a year driving and 1-2 total racing. Maybe some of you are different. Maybe some of you just can't drive a stick. Who knows.

I agree that an auto is quicker, though a stick is faster (if you can use it).

As far as solving the problems, there are lots and lots of manuals that don't have issues, it sounds to me like it needs done RIGHT and the problems should go away. I know plenty of guys that have been plagued with issues with their automatics, too.
