So I got my clutch and alluminum drive shaft installed Sat. Couldn't do the new flywheel cause I bought the wrong one Anyways, in the meantime I am running on my stock flywheel. My tranny guy said it is in good condition, but just don't really get on it hard until we put in the new one.

Here is the deal though. With my stock setup, I used to be able to come out in second no problem. I used to do that all the time as coming out in first just seemed like a waste in normal daily driving. Now though with the Centerforce I have to ride the clutch A LOT to come out in second. Coming out in first is beautiful, but not second anymore. Is this to be expected? Btw, shifting from first to second gives no problems. Its only when I come out from a dead stop in second that the car starts to tremble unless I really ride the clutch.

The car shifts like a dream now, I really am liking this new setup, but I just want to make sure the second gear thing is normal.

perhaps your old clutch wasnt grabbing as well and gave more slip so it could ease out in second.

if you try to rev harderand roll out in 2nd with the centerforce, it should by design, only grab harder.

Being that you don't have gears, starting in 2nd is going to do that for you. Even with 3.73's 2nd gear starts have a little slip in it to get the car rolling then go from there. Love the DF though and it's for sure standing up to the abuse I've put it through.

0K, sounds good. Yeah I am loving it too. It pretty much flings you forwards as you shift through the gears.
