    Transmission Problems!!!!

    aamco Anyone ever use Aamco? I called one of their shops today and was impressed with the guy I talked to. He was turned off by me saying that I mostly race the car and that its ok on the street but a real problem at the track. He said that its silly to buy a new trans because you are really...

    yeah? Are they good? lol darn..they are literally around the corner from where I live on Union Ave! went there to check their price after I had already left my car at J+L. Woodlawns price was about the same. They insisted on repainting the entire bumper too. Only way to make it look like new...

    .. Yes Al has been great. I have had my car to him a few times. I should have waited and asked him to change the wheel bearing for me. It's obvious that Al really enjoys working on cars and figuring things out. He even researched my old clutch to find out what was actually put in my car by...

    .. its just rediculous that its so hard to find competent mechanics. There should be state inspections or certification tests that mechanics have to take so that they can't just call themselves mechanics when they are just hackers. Even our supposedly best mustang perf. shops (wont burn any...

    Transmission Problems!!!!

    yeah yeah I was at JDM for a few other things and they said that they drove it and it seemed ok. BUt the problem is it always seems ok on the street. AT the track 4th gear at high RPMs is real hard to go into. ON the street now 2nd gear is bad until the trans warms up. Always been that way but...

    I scratched my front bumper bad on the entrance way to my garage. What I thought would be a $50 repair ended up costing $416! Luckily my collector insurance completely covered it. I already have the check a week later. While at J+L I asked for them to change a wheel bearing for me. I think...

    Transmission Problems!!!!

    ... I would like to take mine to a trans shop but they are rediculous expensive and the one that came highly recommended didnt want to take mine apart when I explained that it feels ok on the street but at the track I have problems. I cant get my car into 4th gear. I tightened my cable way...

    Larocca's Performance = AWFUL!!!

    ... I ended up using Al from Street Motorsports for my clutch install. He was very knowledgable and it was obvious he enjoys working on cars. I felt very secure with leavign my car with him and that the work would be done well. Unfortunetely he doesnt have a dyno to do tuning, but I hope to...

    clutch question

    ... Do you still have the stock adjuster? or did you or someone else put in an adjustable clutch quadrant and firewall adjuster? My clutch got like that when I loosened the firewall adjuster trying to get the clutch to grab down low. There is lots of play in the pedal and when I went too far...

    Larocca's Performance = AWFUL!!!

    ... I have been looking for a mechanic in my area who is good and trustworthy. I have used two of the popular performance shops in the past and had questionable work happen at both. A number of people I know well recommended Al from Street MOtor sports in Cranford. I dont think he has a dyno...

    ANyone in NJ USe collector Car INsurance?

    I tried applying with Hagerty and found out that they look back 5 years and although they say they will ignore an infraction they wont ignore my 30 over ticket from 4 years ago. Its amazing how long you get punished for doing something like that. More punishment than for an actual crime like...
