Even 6th? Are you sure?


Sounds like your clutch is slipping. I really doubt you're spinning 6th gear, even if you're peg legging it.

Try putting the motor under load and see if you "lose traction". Like going up hills at a constant rate of speed, if your rpm's spike, its a clutch. If you see two black stripes, then you have a traction problem.

dude im not trying to be a smart *** but going to the track when you know you have a traction problem would be throwin' your money away. Nitto makes some nice 17" drag radials
