Shitty launches ?!?!
 

Alright, here's the deal. I thought it would be fun to put in an EXTREMELY high-end (built) tranny for a week or so. My friend helps me with all of my work, and we changed out the tranny. I get it in, and it rides fine ...... But then ........ something TERRIBLE happens ..... Late one night some douch bag in a camaro lines up beside me and says, "Nice grocery car, I think I'll beat you to that other stop light." I said, "Sure!" ;D I drop my clutch at 4 grand, and my tach drowns down to 500 RPM, THEN starts movin'!! I was like, "Stiggy da be what?!" So, when I stopped again, I tried to launch. *Rev, drop, bog down* (In that order). >:( >:( I am REALLY ------- pissed off. I go home, and the next day, I put my old tranny back on, still the same problem..... Does ANYONE have an idea of what it could be? I seriously don't have a clue. Thanks.

I am guessing that you used the same clutch. and just swapped it over. get a brand new clutch. like stage 2 or a sixpuck with springs.

what is your vacuum reading.

Re:Shitty launches ?!?!
 

Are you having wheel hop? what type of tranny are we talking here? and clutch setup?

Re:Shitty launches ?!?!
 

No, no wheel hop. The ------- car won't even bark! :'( I am using a standard CRX Si tranny now. And the clutch, well ..... who knows. OEM maybe? I believe that's the problem. I don't have the means to read my vaccum, how could that cause a problem. I suppose I could get a gauge for it. Thanks for the help.

when the clutch engages, keep your foot on the gas pedal ;)

Re:Shitty launches ?!?!
 

*laughs* Alright, I'll try that. Altough, I don't think that's problem. ;)

Re:Shitty launches ?!?!
 

omg, I was kidding. You take your foot off the gas pedal?

Re:Shitty launches ?!?!
 

yeah for one reason or another your car is bogging hard. either you need to give it more gas or lauch higher or both. If I launch my car below 5 and the tire doesn't spin it boggs..

Re:Shitty launches ?!?!
 

thats your clutch dude, get a new one like act 3 puck or something.

nothing to do with the trans
