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 bumps into gear. This isnt the usual T56 sloppy this different.
At the track I have had better luck with the new trans getting into 4th gear, but I have missed 3rd gear almost every run. This isnt the usual 3rd gear miss. This is 3rd refusing to go in as I sit with the clutch to the floor pushing hard.
What sucks the most is that the guy that did my work doesnt think anything can be wrong except something with the trans, but I think something else has to be wrong.. After the first clutch I had done by this guy I noticed a problem with 2nd gear.. seems to get better as it heats up i thought, but I never had this bad double bump in 2nd before. Now 2nd and 3rd are problematic sicne he installed my trans and clutch.
What really sucks is I just dont have the time and money to get more work done to the car.
What also sucks is that because the car feels ok on the street, shops will drive it and tell me its ok. I KNOW its not ok. I wonder if I even needed a new trans to begin with.
I guess I'll just put it away for the winter and try to forget about the freakin car.
After seasons of 11 sec passes, I ran one lousy 11.9 all season long... and my car is ok RIGHT.
