Re: Wow...

Umm i was running 12.7s on a 2.1 60'
I found out what killed the clutch, the shop that put in my rear main did not locktite or torque the bolts down and one came off, causing an oil leak directly onto the clutch and the bolt was flying arounf wreaking havoc on everything.
The throughout bearing completely froze up so the input shaft was just spinning in the bearing.

Rear was bound to go sooner or later...

Time for a complete tranny rebuild and a Street twin with a 12bolt and some slicks...

Time for some 11s....
