thats kind of an odd deal. you'll be happy with a spec if you decide to switch. i got mine for 200 with an aluminum flywheel. yet to install though.
Yeah that is what I have heard. It was a king cobra clutch, with about 30k on it if that... Today is the day that I take it apart. I will start working on it in about an hour or so, so I may have questions like how it happened and such. I need a short throw shifter too, that stock shifter is absolutely killing my shifts.

If I find out it is the clutch I will be ordering a new clutch today. I plan on supercharging it, so leave me with some feedback on which clutch I should go with. I make close to 320hp as it sits. I will be boosting 8psi through an S-trim.

Well got the tranny all down. I chunked the clutch on a mis-shift is all I can come up with. The clutch actually slipped around and pulled out the rivets that hold it on the plate. I will be cleaning everything up and repainting it. Ordered a spec Stg.2 clutch and a Tri Ax shifter Hopefully that will improve the reliability of my shifts, improving the life of my new clutch! So now the car is down for another week.
