Im dont think im gettin this stick shift stuff right!
Ive have had the new swap in the car for close to a year now, and for some reason i keep on having a problem that nobody can solve.
I pop it into first gear and let teh clutch out SLLLLOOOOWWWWLLLYYY and the car begins to shake. when the clutch catches and the car begins to roll, i give it gas and the car bogs...after it bogs it catches its breath so to speak, and begins to move. it really feels like teh car is about to bog out and turn off...
in other words...and rpms drop and if it werent the fact that im gassing the **** outta the car...it wouldnt move until it wakes up!

What clutch?
Mods on motor?
Age/condition of rearend?
The cars I have driven (and mine) with heavy clutches will shake like a SOB if you let them out slow. Adding a big cam will make it worse. I don't really slip the clutch in mine anymore, just kinda pop it from a dead stop.

Did you change your computer tune to a standard tune vs your original automatic tune? I think there might be some parameters that are different between the two, so maybe thats affecting your off idle drivability and making it harder to drive then it should be. Just a thought.

mods on motor? not much. full intake/ full exhaust-long tube headers/ 255 walbro fuel pump/ rear end is off a 96 fbody 3.42's/ computer and tuning is all obd1. i have some adjustments on the computer for knock sensor and some other things, i forget now...but its mildy tuned...just enough for the swap.
as for the bottom end...i havent cleaned my injectors in a while, and it may not be that problem. the spark plugs and wires are taylor 8.5's and they are recent.
the clutch is kinda stiff but i dont think its anything different from stock...i could be wrong.
only thing is...i may have to check the parameters on the computer....
