3rd felt good, although I granny shifted it, still felt good. Not sure what happened to 2nd... feels like crap, even driving around the pits... guess its gotta come apart again.

[DaveSkrab]

Not "double Clutchin" like ya should?

Good Numbers JT! I'd be happy it went back together and functioned!

[BadAssPerformance]

LOL, as waiting for that Nope, not double clutching, you got me

Thanks... and yeah, 2nd is not happy, even before the 1st pass.... so it only partially finctioned, LOL!

Does the whole motion feel stiff/crunchy? If so, that will clear once the loose steel shrapnel is out of the slider. If it keeps grinding, I bet you trashed one pad. Happened to mine and it got better after the other pad went.

[BadAssPerformance]

At slow speeds it kind of just grinds as it goes into gear but goes right in... at 7000 rpm it made a bad grinding sound and just didnt go in. I did flip the 1-2 pads so the frsh side was on 2nd, maybe that was a mistake?

[MiniMopar]

Prolly. Dang things. My money's on one pad being half gone. Were these still plastic?

Get to thrashing! My little brother really wants to see the Daytona. I believe he said something to the effect of, "The only Daytonas that run 10's have a V8 under the hood." He will be at St. Louis this coming week watching you (bracket) race the Daytona (Shadow).

Seriously, get the transmission finished and back in the car. I'll help you finish things up in the hotel parking lot Thursday night/Friday morning.

[dodgeshadowchik]

bummer JT! But I know you'll get it back together and functioning right...

[22shelby]

minor details, however the damn thing was making some power!!!! holy mph batman!!!

Those were the brass ones... the 2nd gear side was smashed just like the plastic ones do tho (pics of both sides attached). Hmm.. I could put the nice plastic ones on 5th gear there? ... or is it somethign else? definitely makes that ZZzhiiiing! sound going into gear that we all know and associate with shift fork issues tho...

I'll tear into it tomorrow after work and see what it is. Would love to bring for sure so youand your bro can see it and piss some v8 guys off

BTW, Thanks for the offer! I'm a little too anal with that car to wrech on it in parking lots tho hopefully it gets back together, its more fun and less work than trying to go rounds with the 13.00 Shadow, LOL... you see those R/T's from today? Damn fast car is making me late in the Shadow now

bummer JT! But I know you'll get it back together and functioning right...

Yeah, hopefully this week... busy at work too, we'll see.

Yeah, it felt STRONG on the big end

[black86glhs]

So were those the soft brass or the bronze ones you just had made?
