Okay SFCs are on, no problems with that. But, I realized I have an intake manifold leak. Need a new gasket. This is a concern for me, but since I'm taking everything off this winter anyway, it's a small concern.

But here's my big problem. Heading home from my mechanic today and open the window. Guess what I hear? Yep... it started again. The throwout bearing is whistling again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know for a fact that the last time it was making a sound, I came by the shop and he actually took out the tranny to fix it. And it's already making a sound again? It's been good for a month or so, what gives!

I feel bad for my mechanic because he's going to have to take it out again!

 

Whatever you do, don't get him to weld it...

 

are you taking it easy on the clutch or beating it?

 

Whistling? Are you sure he didn't stick a turbo in there well you weren't looking?!?

 

No offense but who the heck is your mechanic? Every single time you get something fixed by this guy like a month later its breaking again..

 

...turbo-clutch.

 

It's not the car, its the mechanic.

With that said, the sfc's let some of the strain off the drivetrain, the torque arm, the transmission and driveshaft aren't subjected to the same torsional forces as before when you didn't have sfc's.

You may have to get adjusted because of this.

Don't worry too much, though, the sfcs are the best thing you could have done to a t-top/convertible car hands down.

 

For the love of *** why do you goto the same mechanic?!?! And feel bad for the **** that cant install a clutch? Your more understanding than I am.
But seriously get a new mechanic. he probly gets his groove on everytime he sees you comin... Your putting his kids through college... An easyspeed errr sucker is born every minute .

Exactly what is there to adjust?

 

Ditto. Couldn't have said it better so I won't.

RP.

 

Maybe it's your input shaft this time - destroying your pilot bearing because of all the tranny pulls/installs.

 

Honestly, I don't know what he needs fixed now... I just know his mechanic is at fault.. this is visit #4 for another tranny issue....

if it was done right the first time, it wouldn't have to resort to a third try.. or fourth... or upcoming fifth... and sixth too! I say that will come in April though or something... Poor guy...

 

Nobody likes to find out that they suck.. can you imagine the poor mechanic? He probably cries everytime he sees the Camaro rolling into the parking lot.. "OH JESUS, for the love of *** not again!!" (Insert crying smiley here)

ROFL!

 

Easy, no offense bro but try going to a new mechanic. This is getting ridiculous.

 

I second that James.......Easy get a new mechanic and get it done right! I am sure any one of us on the board can recomend someone who will do it right the first time!

 

I recommend you do it yourself. That's how I learned.

 

"Do it yourself"......We're talking about Easy here

 

lol, ha ha. James that was low, funny but low
