I put a new clutch and flywheel (thanks Steven) in Saturday and everything felt a lot better than before. I drove around Saturday night and some Sunday then headed to the track. I made only 2 passes but smelt clutch on both so I decided I have an issue still. I drove home, still not having a problem shifting, slipping, etc......Crank up the piece to go to work this morning, and the car just starts rolling out with the clutch still pushed to the floor. Im just praying the cable is bad and not having to do ANOTHER tranny, which will be an auto if I do.

No I dont, lol, but actually the clutch had about 500 miles on it before the car it was in was totalled. I looked at the clutch, flywheel, and pressure plate, and they all looked very good. Im pretty sure its the cable, but o well, time will tell. Ill be ordering one on Friday.

Hell I am suprised you had enough power to make a clutch of any kind slip. Driver mod thing not a bad idea either..:hysterical:

You can swing from my nuts later. Not right now. :D
Fact of the matter is, you either are:
a.) Installing shit wrong
b.) can't drive worth a shit
c.) get used stuff that is worn out
d.) all of the above.
Cars with more power running the same clutch setup seems to outlast yours all day. Yes, both my turds are an auto and? Hell when I blew the 5speed up in my fox (after 2 years of beating the shit out of it), I went auto right off the bat instead of dicking around with the 5spd. But of course a stock t-5 only handles 300ftlbstq.
I can drive a 5spd. Just rather go auto, less chance of me fucking shit up when racing.

you race? big shock there....and youre right, maybe ill just bring it to you to fix it for me......or not. I cant help I have a shitty tranny and you put your thong on backwards. How exactly did your tranny "blow up"? Ive never had that happen! I think I installed it wrong too because I just thought of the 100's of ways t45s go in mustangs. You could be right there. And youre right, I cant drive worth a shit. And what was your other point?? o yea, fund me to buy the best of the best so I can quit getting "worn out parts" as you say.....

You been peeking in my window when I get dressed in the morning?
My tranny blew up because it had over 216k miles and many track passes on it, plus more power than it was intended for and was my daily driver. Had a way to and from work which helped.
Who has more transmission problems than anybody and yet always bitches about it? Not I. So you save for it. If it is your DD than I can see your point alittle.

I have raced before. WIll race the black truck. But slowly getting rid of the weak links that would break. So I am not out there PRAYING I don't snap an axle, have wheel hop etc etc.

It is my DD, and I dont bitch about it, just gives something to talk about, but im all ears on how to be like you when I grow up.

Well since it is your daily good luck.
You do not want to be like me. Hard enough for me to be like me. :D

:idea: You might consider not beating on it until you can afford to fix it the right way.

or I can do what I do and have fun until it breaks because I have to race. Its just in me, even though I know I shouldnt be.

or let me make a pass in it. anything that is ever going to break will break on that one pass and you can fix it all at once.

Ive already offered that to someone but they dont wanna do that until I get better tires. I can drive the car better, I just dont like the fact of the spray being on the throttle switch and not letting out the gas when shifting.
