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

Re:Shitty launches ?!?!
 

---- ...... no I don not take my foot off of the gas pedal. Thanks Zex, Todd, and Pizza. And the others. I'll go out today, launch at 5,500 ..... and if it bogs ..... then to Tupelo Racing Consignment I go!! thanks again.
