what clutch

Spec stage 3. Tick master as well. I've tried tons of different adjustments and none help.

How old is the clutch - getting locked out of gears was usually when my clutch was toast. Box was fine.

5K miles? I thought it may be a clutch issue as well, but the problem is only in 3rd.

It'll be hard to tell until you tear it down.

The big thing for me was the lack of sfi gear for the 80e - it's not common yet. Where I had everything for the t56.

@meissen - can I get the title updated to Nocooler's 00 Firebird - since this thread has evolved with the car.

Thanks!

They worked - the settings MWC gave me were good.

car went consistent 11.3x@122 most of the day. Track prep was bad.

Need to order viking front shocks for next year. The qa1 singles don't cut it out front.

That's more like it! I remember when u ran 11.30s a couple summers ago you had some good air for sure! I ditched my qa1s for vikings I believe they are a better shock

Car was hanging the front then spinning 10' out.

Car got put away last week.

Nerve pain is back with a vengeance - I'm back on short term disability. Going to pay for a nerve block out of pocket (with help from family) - since it got marked experimental last year (Thanks .gov & insurance companies for letting this happen). I'm probably going to have to go with a stimulator implant to keep the pain under control - since drugs won't do it.

Have a happy and safe Halloween everyone.

Looks like the car will probably sit all year.

I've had 2 surgeries @ U of M this year for my burn scars, next week the doc and I will decide if we need to do more or wait a couple more months. The last one I actually woke up feeling better than I did before they put me under. So things are moving in the right direction. My right arm looks like a shark took a bite out of it, but I have full range of motion again and less pain.

I also some how managed to tear my meniscus in my left knee. I've been treated so well at U of M that I'll be going down there to see a specialist.

Still off work and don't know when I'll be able to go back....so no money for new slicks and even if I did I couldn't kick the clutch.

On the positive side - our 2nd son is 2 months old and doing well.

Got the car out today and took it to a dyno event. Drove 35 miles there and made two hits. One N/a and one on a 150 shot, both with the cut out open.

Tires slipped when the bottle hit.

Nice Jeremy time for some slicks and bang some gears!
