Re: More Chevelle updates
 

Reminds me of the Camaro. You're on top of Everest, and it comes and kicks you down by breaking yet another thing. Hang in there, Eric. Eventually, you'll find a trans that works, and eventually you'll run out of things to replace.

Re: More Chevelle updates
 

The trans isn't the problem, it's been trouble-free save for now having a wasted tailshaft seal--which I'm sure is due in no part to having the driveshaft in & out a dozen times.

The problem is the power and the weight--plus the fact that the car usually dead hooks.

It's looking more & more like I'm going to have to go to some sort of a twin disc set-up...which is just that much more $$$ that I can't spare right now.

On top of that, this clutch fiasco has severely screwed my hopes & plans to get a few other projects wrapped up before the end of the year.

Manual transmissions are undeniably cool, but OMG are they one colossal friggin' pain in the ass--specifically, right around the wallet region. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img]

Any updates Eric? Did you swap to an automatic?

Haven't touched the car since the last time it was out save for charging the battery once so I could pull it outside. Decided against going automatic, but the car's probably not going to make it out this year at this point. Actually been considering selling it.

Don't you dare! That and Rachel are the two things that keep you sane! ;)

Against my better judgement, today I broke down and pulled the trigger on another clutch set-up--a McLeod RXT which is a dual disc system with ceramic pucs.

McLeod rates this unit up to 1,000 HP.

With any luck I'll have it in the car within the next couple of weeks.

Fingers crossed.

Yeah!!

Did that dual-disc setup on the Performance Years board not work out? Seemed like a great deal.

It had the wrong spline discs, would've cost too much to sort it out.
