Do you feel a drag when you start it back up? Like if the clutch is dragging or partially engaged? If so, check the adjustment. If it is adjusted correctly, (and you've eliminated the fluid) I bet it's a defective pressure plate or pilot bushing issue. I've had both go bad and what you are...

As mentioned above, check the gear oil first and make sure it is full and not ATF. Another thing that I had issues with in the past is the pilot bushing, it can be too snug and when it warms up it will hang onto or drag the input shaft when it gets hot. I've also had a pressure plate go bad and...

I was watching the launch live on TV and seen it as it happened.

I got some universal clips at my local auto fastener store. Au-ve-co products part number 8581, you just trim to fit.

Sorry, I looked and couldn't find one, must have sold the extra one I had.

I may have an extra one, I'll look when I'm in the garage tomorrow.

What's the part number? There are a few different ones for A-Bodies, the mounting holes are positioned in different angles depending on what shifter you have.

Sorry for your loss. I can relate to the loss of your father, I lost mine 16 years ago and still think about that day all the time. The garage fire is one of my worst nightmares. Unfortunately homeowners insurance don't cover any loss of motor vehicles or car parts, don't matter what the...

Yep, it's a 4spd.

You're correct, I would be the same way at a show. I trust the friend I got it from, but I'm also not 100% sure that it is the original to the GSS because it isn't a standard tire. It's a color line tire for one and not a standard white wall, would love to see one that can be proven to be...

I know of one locally in St. Louis that got turned into a pro street back in the 80's. A friend of a friend owned it, never understood why he insisted on tubbing such a rare car. I ended up with the original spare tire out of it, never been on the ground. I still have it, was always going to put...

Thanks Don!

I bought one 8-9 years ago for my car, it is a nice set up but the shock lasted about 4 years and wouldn't hold the lid up anymore. I did a little research to replace the shock and found out all the parts were made for camper shells.

Those kits are hard to find with nice chrome, and even parts kits missing chrome bring good money. Go to http://www.modelhaus.com/ and you can get resin replacement parts.

Headman Hustler fenderwell race headers are the only ones I know of that have any size to them. I have them in my car, I had to do some mods though to use them on the street. I added a set of two bolt ball flange collectors, moved the tabs that bolt them together, added crankcase vents, and sent...
