Default no more clutch!

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!

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.

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

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.
