I went to Norwalk Friday. The Track SUCKED! NO ONE got a 60' better than a 1.6.... even a few racers who were there who average 1.3 -1.4's. Anywho.....
I ran a best of 13.08. My 60' times were NEVER below a 2. I used, and killed a set of used DR's, and even a set of ET Streets. Still...nothing. All in all, it was a good day at the track.
After leaving, about 5-10 miles from the Track, on the back roads, things went downhill for me. We came to a Stop Sign, and turned right. The car spun up to about 3-4K before it shifted. It shifted into 3rd at about 5500 w/ part throttle!!
Eventually, it got to the point where the car would NOT move. It seems now, that if I turn the car off, then back on, I can pick a gear and the car will move until it encounters resistance (ie...hill).
When I finally got my car towed home, and looked in the garage, there is a small puddle where the Trans is. Looking at the Trans, fluid is leaking from the Rear Seal. So...it looks like my car may have a "bad" Driveshaft.
At this time, it looks like I am into a new Driveshaft and a Rebuild Kit. I might as well do the Rear Head cooling Mod while I am at it.
I guess this gives me a reason to install the 3500 TC I have sitting in the garage, but still...this sucks. I am glad this happened before we headed to FL in July. Could you imagine the car kacking in the sticks of TN!! :omg:
