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 the strip. I have put some more miles on the the new trans abnd cltuch and changed the fluid at 500 miles just to make sure it was clean.
All this after years of great 11 sec. runs on the few mods i have.
I'm not sure what to do next because I have taken the car to a trans place and a shop who both said it seems fine and refused to work on it. I am 100% sure its not fine.
Places here in NJ wont take my money because they dont know if they will fix it because it shifts...just not well and like i said impossible at the track.
David Norten from Spec told me that bell housing alignment could very well be an issue. I talked to another trans shop who told me that there are already supposed to be alignment dowels on the trans and as long as they are there it has to be aligned. I have no idea what they look like or where they are so I am assuming they are still there.. ANYONE KNOW ABOUT THESE ALIGNMENT DOWELS? have a picture???
Kevin from Wicked Motorsports in NJ (mustang shop) said he would take the car and check it out. He didnt want to just try another clutch. I guess I'll try him and if he cant find anything Ill tell him to put in another clutch.
Or I was thinking about JDm Engineering but I already know they will drive it down the street and say its ok unless I pay them to put in a clutch.
There is no one that I know well who is good at and willing to really figure otu the problem and even when I stress that I am willing to pay them for their diagnosing time. Except Wicked... Guess I should try them next?
FYI I have the adjuster and quadrant and adjusted everything right and had it doubled checked by JDM at their track day. I have tried different adjustments and a new stock cable.
IDEAS?
