went to the track for the first time, and broke somethin.... Options

[easternpiro1]

This past weekend I went to a quarter mile dragstrip 1.5 hour away from my house for the first time since I swapped.


I ran a 14.6 against my good friend in the genesis coupe. he ran a 15.4. I was on low boost 8psi stock boost for me is 15psi still breaking motor in, wont turn it up until 3k miles whats funny is that with my first 4th gen swap, i ran a 14.2 on 15psi! i had crappy 205 40 tires, and spun ALOT. that must be the MAIN reason why i ran so slow...


i decided to do a 3rd run and broke something related to the drive train.... FML. I'm thinking its either a broken clutch or my axle popped out. I havent had a chance to get under the car as work has been kicking my butt!!

Symptoms that make me think I broke something related to the clutch (possibly disc) is that
1. car will not stall out when I put it in gear and release clutch
2. I can shift through all gears while the car is still on WITHOUT pressing the clutch (reverse will grind a little)

when i got home and unloaded the car from a trailer borrowed from a friend, we found that tranny fluid was on the ground. My friend says that the axle probably popped out, which may be true because i noticed that there was axle grease on the subframe.

Hopefully its just a messed up axle!! i REALLY dont want to remove that tranny!!

if anyone has any suggestions please feel free to add! (video of my race is on facebook in the 6gc group)

my specs for the drive train are: s54 tranny, comp 6 puck clutch gt axles.

GOOD NEWS!!!! it was the axle!!! THANK GOD! apparently i launched too hard, and it snapped the axle SMOOTH. about an inch and a half of the axle got stuck in the tranny, had to push it out! will post pix later...

i was only at 8lbs.... thats kind of concerning.... but ah well...
