Default strip=broke car

i was at the drag strip today and on my last run (obviously) i went to shift into 3rd and it wouldnt go in, i thought i missed a gear, so i just put it in neutral and coasted the rest of the way, and when i went to put it in gear i had absolutly no clutch pressure, and it wont get into gear. any help would be really great as to what could be wrong, i think i blew my clutch, but im not sure

Odds are pretty good. Unless you broke your clutch cable, which you should pray you did because its a fairly easy fix... i'd check that out. If not its your clutch.

People swear by specs on here... however after seeing my friends fry up in a short period of time... less than 3 months... i forget the exact amount i'll never touch them. They look cheaper than any other clutch i've seen.

Its just my opinion, i love my king cobra, but if you dont have a t-45 they dont make them for the 3650.

from what you describe i think you blew the cable.

and the spec clutches from what i understand are probably great for race use, but people are using them in a DD condition which wears them fast.

the king cobra feels almost stock under normal driving, but when you put your foot to the floor and really slam the shifts it grabs HARD

umm this may be off topic but i noticed someone said they dont make king cobra for the tr-3650. I wonder what kind of clutch i have then, I didnt put a aftermarket clutch in but i noticed that when i bought the car the clutch feels really really heavy compared to other GT's my year and feels just about as heavy as the 04 cobras its also quite shorter than the stock clutches. Can someone please tell me what kind i might have...?

i had the same thing happen to me *****, just i wasnt at the strip. I ended up needing a whole new clutch, throwout breaing, pilot bearing. so pretty much a clutch kit. i went with the King Cobra. works awsome. feels stock, but grabs. im even chirpin 3rd now.
