Well, the supercharger claimed it's first victim. I'm not sure but I think it's the cable assembly for the clutch. the clutch didn't smell fried up so hopefully it's not that. I'll get under there and take a look when I have some time and some daylight!

 

I'm hoping it's just the clutch quadrant broke or bent. that would be a cheaper and easier fix. I may be ordering one of those kits soon!

 

sorry to hear it. Hey what are your mods anyhow?

 

You should have instalkled the Kit Before u installed that supercharger.....

Get the Steeda Double hook quadrant & Firewall adjuster.....you can use your stock clutch! Works great!

 

those dont make your clutch grab better so if it is the clutch it doesnt matter.

 

I know that.

 

get auto

 

DONT YOU EVER RECOMMEND SOMEONE TO GET AN AUTO...thats just insane!!!!

 

with the steeda quadrant..you wont have to worry about it breaking. yay!!

oh and since u added the supercharger..you will need a stroger clutch...rip out the stocker and I HIGHLY recommend the one and only CENTERFORCE DUAL FRICTION CLUTCH KIT!!!!!! Centerforce Throw-out bearing is sold SEPARETLY. make sure u get those 2 puppies! I did!

 

Yes, I know I need a stronger clutch.. I'm not finding anything wrong with the cable assembly, but I can't look at how it's working under the car while pushing the pedal so I'll have to get a friend over here to take a look at that. There was some shredded clutch material in the bell housing though so I might as well replace the clutch regardless.

 

where are you at in iowa?

 

marshalltown.

 

If its your cable, stay with oem. Steeda's is weaker.

 

the ignorance is strong with this post

 

Yep, some people don't realize that an auto can be made just as fast as a manual

 

a new spec stage 2 is on it's way

 

yea and then that manuel can be modded so thats its faster than the auto...so :icon_albi

 

prepare to be bying yourelf another clutch like 600 miles after the Spec.....

 

There's a reason that most of the faster cars at the drag strip run automatic trannys

 

How? New clutch and re-gearing? Then I re-gear the auto and they're on par with eachother again?

A torque converter can do so much for an automatic. The biggest advantage it has is consistency. Try banging through the gears yourself on a 10 second car and see how difficult it can be to shift that fast.

Each has their advantages and disadvantages. Don't rule one out either way.

 

Most people I've talked to had no problems with them.
