I am at my wits end trying to figure out whats wrong with my car. I can not shift well enough to bother taking it to the track anymore. On the street sloppy at the track impossible. I have tried several clutches installed by a few different shops, different shifters, a new stock clutch cable...

For years I have been trying to figure out why my car will not shift correctly. I even bought a new RPM trans years ago thinking my original tranny was messed up. I have had several clutches installed as well. The car shifts sloppy on the street at random times and gears, but at the track at...

My wonderful 2004 F 150 Week Two of ownership the power steering went bad. Dealership fixed it under warrenty but the steering always made a creaking sound when you first turned on the truck and started steering then would go away. A few months later the truck went into nuetral on the...

Just bought a house so going back into the shop in March is going to have to wait until at least June or the fall when I am sure I have the money.. I was going to go in and put the stock clutch and flywheel back in. I already have the firewall adjuster, LDC Kit, Steeda quick release quadrant...

I have been through two new clutches and then a new RPM Trans and another new clutch and still cant shift. Very sloppy on the street...gets better after it runs for a little while and heats up but still intermittent sloppy rough shifting. At the track forget it. 9 times out of 10 i cant get down...

These are common problems for hard shifting/trouble shifting from Bob Hanlons site. Is it possible to adjust the bellhousing alignment on a cobra? Is that something that is always done when we get a new clutch? POSSIBLE CAUSES FOR HARD SHIFTING INCLUDE: Clutch not releasing #...

I have been having some really odd shifting issues and some of it started after my spec flywheel went in. I since switched from a 3+ to a 2 and had the insert in the flywheel changed and I still have some problems. I want to try another clutch and flywheel but cant decide what to go with. I...

JDM told me today that a steel flywheel might help some of my shifting issues vs the aluminum one i have now. ANy opinions on that?

For anyone who hasnt already heard my bitching... I CANT FREAKIN SHIFT down the 1/4 mile since (heres the time line)............................. Stock trans and fms clutch I was having trouble with 3rd to 4th. it would always go into 2nd so i figured shift fork...3rd gear was getting harder...

Except for the few people at etown who know how my car used to run and how I can drive (not that im that good...but i can shift the car) I had nothing but trouble at JDM Customer Appreciation Day. I thought i had my problems figured out. My clutch cable was loosenign on its own every run...so i...

I ran into someone I met a whiel back at the track today. I told him how my clutch cable seems to loosen without the firewall adjuster turning. It doesnt always stay put but today the marks i made stayed at the top while the cable definetely loosened up.. After one run the cable loosens. He...

I just realized that Steeda now has a locking firewall adjuster. When I bought mine a year ago I called them concerned about the fact that there is no locking bolt in its design. They said thats the way they were making them. Every time I make a run I notice that there is more slack in the...

Trans has 15,000 miles on it. I bought a new RPM trans because I thought there was something wrong with my trans. Now I have the same problems with the new trans. If there is anything wrong with my stock trans it was fine on the street. I only had trouble with 3rd to 4th at the track and...

I have been told by JDM Engineering that there should be "no slack in the cable but not too tight" The Muscle Mustang and Fast Fords Article says "no slack but so that there is some play back and forth" side to side i think that means. They say 1/2 to 1 inch back and forth play at the trans...

WANT TO BUY JDM IRS PINION SNUBBER Does anyone have a JDM IRS PInion SNubber laying around?

I had a JDM pinion snubber....let me stress HAD.. Its no longer on my car...i guess it fell off? I thought I was getting terrible hop from the spec 3+ clutch when it most likely a loose or already missing JDM Snubber.. What really sucks is that JDM told me today that they no longer make...

i have had it with my car. I am actually thinking about selling it again. I spent over $3000 between a new RPM Transmission, clutches and labor and it still doesnt shift right. On the street it is inconsistantly sloppy...sometimes feels smooth as could be and goes right and other times it...

Has anyone ever had the clutch release lever/fork go bad? They sell new ones so they must go bad occasionally. I am trying to figure out why I have intermittent sloppy shifts and real problems at the track. I noticed that my release lever pulls in and out. In one position it kind of locks...

The spec 2 is plenty of clutch for my 470hp 460tq at the wheels. I wouldnt recommend any more. It held up great no different every run. The new trans fixed my 3rd to 4th problem I used to have, but I couldnt get the car into 3rd gear all four runs. I got it in each time on the second try. I...

I believe I cavitated the pump..lol I put ice in and ran the pump...too much air got in system and now with the intercooler tank filled i hear the pump but there is no pumping going on. I;m guessing I got too much air in the system or in the pump itself. How else can you get air out of the...

What else...other than the trans itself, the clutch, and the clutch adjustment, can cause sloppy and inconsistent shifts? Maybe my new RPM Level V trans will be great once I get to the track. 3rd to 4th is obviously better and that must have been what was wrong with my old trans. but...

Finally my new RPM Transmission Level V T56 is in the car and working well. I'm picking it up today and can't wait to see what it feels like. I had heard only great things about RPM and so far their customer service and support has been fantastic. I'll elaborate more about my experience in...

This is the first clutch I have ever had that felt great with 7 miles on it. I have already put 75 miles on it and it feels just as good. I expected it to grab really hard and it doesnt. If it is good for the power its supposed to be I should be able to launch well at the track and let out...

Is this a problem related to DSS Level 2 shafts? I had one go bad right after the install years ago and now the other has gone bad and the one that was changed is bad as well. How difficult is it to change rear wheel bearings? What do you need? Do you need a press? Any other special tools...

To be safe I think I will still put a good 300 or more miles on my sec 2 before racing, but I am conflicting info regarding clutch material. I was told by a mechanic that organic clutches need very little break in and I have read that, but he says the same goes for my stage 2 spec which is...
