condolences

 

I broke my Condolences? Where are they on the car? I checked the condolence fluid before I took it to the track.











Thanks Al! I guess you "play, you Pay"

 

I'm confused in the link it says its still running?

Usually grenaded means pistons go through the oilpan. My guess is as good as yours as to what broke

 

Something EXPLODED under the car, with a LOUD BANG!! Sorry for the confusion.

 

Sorry to hear, so what actually broke? I'll wear black tomorrow

 

Just running on a hunch since alot of people have destroyed their Tranfercases there is a good possibility of the TC being a culprit in your case.

Though its worthy to point out you haven't said what noises, if any the car makes when you tried to go forward again.

On that note does it make hideous noises being pushed

Did you see any oil near the TC case and tranny? The black smoke could have been tranny oil splattering on the exhaust.

 

Good thing out local 1/8 mile track isn't prepped for **** and that I'm on all season.

That sucks Kevin. Get it fixed. Any idea what your 1/8 mile times and mph looked like?

 

I will get the slips later today. I will post them when I get them!!!

 

somked sorry to hear that hope you get your issues solve remember when you play you have to pay but keep going on if thats what you like!
good luck my friend

 

Thanks Creamo! I don't know what broke yet. It can go into all gears, once the clutch is out, NO LOAD from the motor, ALL gears are the same way. I will let the driver elaborate more on it. there is a slight "clunking" when in gear, and foot off the clutch, car just WONT move! Everything looks good under the car, driveshafts and all, no fluids leaking and the "Black plume" could have been the friction material in the clutch, no?

 

Your car is always broken... what the hell.

 

Hello again my friend!! I am going to keep plugging away with the car, It is on jackstands over the winter anyway, time to "tweak" it some more. The car and I have been thru alot, this is just "another hurdle" I have to jump over. So that makes a spun rod bearing and this in one year!!! No problem,it could be minor!

 

If I didn't break it so much, we wouldn't have so much to talk about!!

 

Its definitely possible curious to what kind of clutch setup you were running

Maybe you shattered the clutch plate which could explain the loud pop.

Best of luck to you
