just got home from a track.... feel horrible

[dam2009]

ok I just got home from a local truck.! I had 3 races 1st. vs civic ex which I won 2nd vs accent, no problems with that and the last one (unfortunatelly) vs Z22 I was pretty sure I can beat him after seeing that the civic guy weatp his a-- bad!! anyways after an excellent launch my clutch start slipping big time !!I shifter second gear at 6000 and it stayed at 6500 for about 3-4 seconds! I feel horrible... of cours I lost big time .... after the race the girl(yeah!!) comes to me and says "why did you step on the brake?" anyways... just though I crie out in here...

Do you have timeslips of your 3 runs ?<P>Just out of curiosity.

[dam2009]

no I don't .... . just a little addition.... my car wont go on the 1st gear now.

[dam2009]

another one... Just found out that my gear oil is leaking, so that's why.....

[Hy300]

Sounds like you destroyed your tranny. Ouch. Tough luck man, thats what a track can do to you. At least you can say you lost to a Z22 when you slammed your gears so hard you broke it.

[ProtegeSTS]

i doubt he destroyed the tranny. He killed the clutch for sure, and all the excess heat probably made some gear oil boil over, but thats what its supposed to do.

[dam2009]

I didn't kill the tranny, clutch it's fine ... the problem was low gear fluid level so dont worry about it "protege i know everything!" ... ok?!

He just logs in so he can say "turbo's are universal... its a manifold you need"<P>And fyi dillsnick, turbo's aren't universal, they have different inlet outlet pipe sizes... you're gonna get facked if you try and pipe a 2.5 into a 2.<P>Take a course in turbomachinery before thinking corky bell has made you the master of turbo's.<P>Get over yourself.

So by you two b----ing at each other makes you guys feel better? There are a million and one things that can go wrong with a car and a million and one reasons why, suggesting other ideas to what may have happened only gives you more information. s--- guys its just the internet!! Relax!!
