I am pretty pissed because this was a new clutch with omly 1300 highway miles :notnice: I am going to open up the clutch sometime today and see what broke. I am soory that I did not hang out Friday and get to say hello.

We were wondering, we thought that you had done your useual 10 passes by 7:pm and then just bailed on us.
That sucks about the clutch.

Hey Fred, I was talking to Shawn at one point in the evening and I heard that your clutch broke on you :bang:

Suppose I should have passed the word, but nobody asked so...

its cool that you did not make it over, its understood. Are you going to make the mountain cruise? Might be good break in for the 05 :flag:

Also, what kind of clutch are you running that is given you problems?

I'm sorry that I did not hang out on Friday :( I was really pissed and I wanted to get the car home. I was using a King Cobra dual friction clutch from Southland Clutch. I just bought a Spec 3 clutch witha new billet steel flywheel from Spec. I should have it by Friday.

I had the same problem with the King Cobra clutch, so I went with a dual friction Centerforce. WOW what a big difference :nice: . You'll notice it with the SPEC too :flag:

Thanks Pierre :nice:
I had to by a Tremecc tranny this morning :bang: My T-5 would not have lived at the track next time out. I hope to have enough miles on the clutch to race at the Q next week.
