[Maximus]

[draggin50]

Good luck today Craig! Hope to start seeing some numbers up!

[2Fast4You]

Anybody?

[Maximus]

I broke something and Im kinda afraid to figure out what it is. :(

[cstreu1026]

Damn, I know that feeling. What I thought was a bad alternator, then cam timing that slipped turned out to be a spun main bearing.

[Maximus]

Drained the oil and cut the filter and nothing!
Drained the Trans, Ewww.

[redfirepearlgt]

^^^ Sorry to hear it.

[cstreu1026]

What trans was in it?

[Maximus]

TKO600. When I hit 3rd, thats when the noise came. :(

[draggin50]

Damn, that sucks. Hopefully its nothing major inside broken.

Rod bearing. Mains are fine.

[cstreu1026]

Engine is still toast.

That's happened to me at least 5 times. Face plated trans are prone to that. If it's not faceplated, then you prob knocked some teeth off

I was thinking more along the lines of a G-101A or something similar.

[kennebellcobra]

Need a clutch tamer to soften the hit.

Arent those STUPID EXPENSIVE??

Thats on my list, but I was just happy to get out and beat on it!

He's running some weird GM hydraulic throw out bearing.

[NXcoupe]

Yeah, if it is synchronized, then that was a simple hand/foot out of synch. That trans shouldn't have any problems handling that level of power, however, I'd do blocker rings every winter and inspect it closely. Jmho.

Adjustable Tilton. :tongue2:

Not put 700+ ft lbs of torque thru it. Clutch plays a lot in how long a manual lasts.
My buddy used to carry a dozen clutches in his trailer and swap them out, shim them, etc to keep the trans alive and it still broke trans left and right. I preferred to not lay under my car all day long and just popped a cold one when the trans went. Lol

Fugg all that! Im old and lazy so I need to figure something out. :lol:

[Walter]

Fix tko and go to cable TOB and put a clutch tamer on it.

They make Tamers for the HYD setup.

How is that going to keep from breaking 3rd gear?

[NXcoupe]

Lets engagement slip rather slam. I've never broke a synchronized tko before, you're one up on me.

It softens the hit when you let off that clutch pedal

Damn! You have broken alot of shit too!

I thought it works when the button is pressed, like a momentary switch?

Jeez, i should just put a PG in this...

[cstreu1026]

I guess I’m buying a clutch tamer before I try and get a blown coyote stick car to work on the track.

6R80 :D

It controls clutch engagement. It allows a diaphragm clutch emulate an adjustable unit.

It would be a nightmare without one.

[NXcoupe]

6R80 :D

Like!

[347sc]

I went a 10.26@141 on my first shake down pass.
Left way too soft, wheel hopped bad in second so lifted then kinda rolled back in 3rd. Second pass broke the blower belt. Belt replaced and going to see what it can do at Edgewater Saturday.

[draggin50]

Gonne be impressive with a good complete pass. MPH is looking promising for sure!

[347sc]

Im thinking it should go mid 150s. Not sure how many passes the stock transmission has in it though.lol

[draggin50]

On a radial or slick?

[347sc]

28x10.5 stiff wall slick

[NXcoupe]

Impressive so far.
