Joe, the tranny is drained, DS is off... I just need to pull it out now. The problem I'm having is that it will NOT go into 2nd gear at the track. No matter how hard I pull, it just stops and won't go in. It doesn't grind, it just acts like there is no gear there to engage, then as the revs come down, it goes in. Thre times to the track with about2-3 runs each time and NOT one of them was I able to hit 2nd gear in.
I think I found the problem though. Walt at pro motion thinks its an air gap problem. Well, I have a washer under the picot ball, Walt's quick release quadrant which give .050" more air gap, etc so I thought I'd have more than enough. Well, I got under the car to check the cable to see if it needed readjusted and low and behold, the damn clutch fork is sitting too far forward and comes up and hits the bell hosuing when the clutch pedal is released. No matter what I try and do now, the clutch will only disengage so much until the fork hits the bell. I either have: a bent clutch fork, the maching shop cut more off the flywheel than they said, or there is a problem with the thickness of the clutch but that is very unlikely. T-out bearing looks like it is situated fine... I don't know what else to look for. If this doesn't fix it, I'm at a loss. I'm headed to the SSOTN race here in two weeks and I'm going for broke that day... if I can make a clean pass. I plan to re-check my bell hosuing indexing too, maybe that is off a little. I have a hard time checking it when I put the clutch in and I came up with 5 thousandths which is the MAX allowed which isn't a good thing. I'll keep you posted.
Only wish I was there to see it. Gives me hope for my car once I get it tuned.
