i need a damn rod shifter!!! lol or my car wont be running all i need to do is hook that up and im good but no... i cant find a rod
shifter anywhere.... called like 10 different junk yards and no luck if ANYONE has one i need it immediatly so i can finally drive my car and what about ur flywheel dan?

still working on it... i think im just gonna pull the third pin out and cold weld all three in there... it doesnt matter if its "out of balance" that much does it... we're talking a few gram pins verses a nearly twenty pound flywheel...

any ideas?

lol so... i did get my car running today.... hehe too her out for awhile and tried to take it easy as much as possible just fun to have the power back in ur hands lol just a slight concern... maybe its because im not used to the clutch but i was not raosting the clutch or anything but when i parked it i could deffinetly smell burning clutch? anyone have ideas it engages and disengages just fine and works perfect just smells like a burning clutch which worrys me alot

Did you clean the surfaces with brake cleaner? Is it a new clutch/PP?

 

[phreaksho]

yes i cleaned it with a contact cleaner to get the oil and shit off of it
it is not new it is macs clutch and pp but its close to new...

 

[Mrhappytuzi]

mmmm.... yeah it was pretty smelly when you left my house last night luke

 

[dantheman68]

the flywheel? did you get it resurfaced?

 

[phreaksho]

lol no but it only had like 2 or 3 thousand on it... and u dont get these resurfaced u get new insert things

 

[dantheman68]

its reccomended that you atleast skim the surface even though you replace the inserts... if the machine shop tells you to just replace the inserts.. id take it somewhere else... when you tighten the inserts, they can become a little warped i wouldnt worry about it now though... it might fix itself...

 

[Mrhappytuzi]

hmm well atleast it dont stink so bad now

 

[Wht91+]

lol no but it only had like 2 or 3 thousand on it... and u dont get these resurfaced u get new insert things

Yes you can. especially if theres only 2000 miles on it. sorry :wave:

Dave, Remember those flywheels I had resurfaced. Well I forgot all about them and I never put a rust preventing agent on them. Now they are all full of surface rust. Im assuming they need surfacing again?

 

[Mac]

Ooooo Adam that sucks. Try some 120 grit and see if that works. If it doesn't, I guess you'll have to. I really never had problems with that clutch/flywheel combo when it was in my car and I have plenty of people that can vouch for me. But I really hope it works out for you. Just try to take it easy for awhile as you're getting used to the flywheel. I found that you have to either give it more revs or let the clutch out slower that the stock flywheel, so maybe you're slipping it too much? Just a thought. Adam, If you want that Y-pipe, I'll trade it for a good 26mm rear SB.

 

[dantheman68]

are you supposed to put rust stuff on them... to me that doesn't soud right...

 

[black92]

The flywheels im talking about are my two spairs that were sitting in the garage. The one in the car is good. Mike I dont think I have a 26mm rear. All I have is a 93 rear which is a 22-24mm?

 

[phreaksho]

mac i believe u man lol i know u wouldnt have intended anything i think it just needs to get broken in with my car and get the cleaner and stuff of it and yeah i found out u do need more rpms with the flywheel defiently more power on the freeway... yeah im gunna try to take it easy its just so damn fun and by the way does anyone have a green gen to with a SHOTIME banner on the front that i passed on 83 about 10 mins ago lol just wonderin

 

[Mrhappytuzi]

hmm.. i saw a blue gen 2 at mcdonalds today... wonder who that was. lol

 

[Mac]

hahaha idk maybe me? Did the green one have a bra? If so I've seen that one before. Looks like I'm going to be needing a clutch now-just blew it up last night racing the Regal on the freeway...

 

[dantheman68]

look @ the SPEC clutches on ultrarev.com i was gonna buy one from them but got in on mattys group buy

 

[Mac]
