15.25@90.5
I Took my car to atco last night for laughs. Wanted to see what it would run. Best of four runs; 15.25/92.3 mph./2.24 60.I figgure thats on par since the car is stock and that was my first time racing a manual. I did notice something wierd though, a shudder. The car has a remarkable shudder when i floor it but seems to disapear at 4k-4500 in second gear. I was thinking possably flywheel? Also when I shift there is a clunk noise that comes from the rear. U joints?
also, any of you fellas that have slow cars like me, do you go through the traps in third or quick shift into 4th? I went 15.25 when i shifted into 4th, but my mph was asmost 2 lower than when i sailed through in third, though that was a 15.45 run. Another factor was on the 15.25 run I had a 60 that was about a half a tenth quicker. |

when I had a stock drivetrain, I was faster through the traps in 3rd than 4th

RE: 15.25@90.5
the shudder was probably from letting the clutch out too soon

Might take a look at the control arm bushings too. Poly mounts will transmit alot more vibration. Is the whole car shaking, or just the shifter?
