I am at my wits end trying to figure out whats wrong with my car. I can not shift well enough to bother taking it to the track anymore. On the street sloppy at the track impossible. I have tried several clutches installed by a few different shops, different shifters, a new stock clutch cable...

For years I have been trying to figure out why my car will not shift correctly. I even bought a new RPM trans years ago thinking my original tranny was messed up. I have had several clutches installed as well. The car shifts sloppy on the street at random times and gears, but at the track at...

My wonderful 2004 F 150 Week Two of ownership the power steering went bad. Dealership fixed it under warrenty but the steering always made a creaking sound when you first turned on the truck and started steering then would go away. A few months later the truck went into nuetral on the...

Just bought a house so going back into the shop in March is going to have to wait until at least June or the fall when I am sure I have the money.. I was going to go in and put the stock clutch and flywheel back in. I already have the firewall adjuster, LDC Kit, Steeda quick release quadrant...

I have been through two new clutches and then a new RPM Trans and another new clutch and still cant shift. Very sloppy on the street...gets better after it runs for a little while and heats up but still intermittent sloppy rough shifting. At the track forget it. 9 times out of 10 i cant get down...

These are common problems for hard shifting/trouble shifting from Bob Hanlons site. Is it possible to adjust the bellhousing alignment on a cobra? Is that something that is always done when we get a new clutch? POSSIBLE CAUSES FOR HARD SHIFTING INCLUDE: Clutch not releasing #...

I have been having some really odd shifting issues and some of it started after my spec flywheel went in. I since switched from a 3+ to a 2 and had the insert in the flywheel changed and I still have some problems. I want to try another clutch and flywheel but cant decide what to go with. I...

JDM told me today that a steel flywheel might help some of my shifting issues vs the aluminum one i have now. ANy opinions on that?

For anyone who hasnt already heard my bitching... I CANT FREAKIN SHIFT down the 1/4 mile since (heres the time line)............................. Stock trans and fms clutch I was having trouble with 3rd to 4th. it would always go into 2nd so i figured shift fork...3rd gear was getting harder...

Except for the few people at etown who know how my car used to run and how I can drive (not that im that good...but i can shift the car) I had nothing but trouble at JDM Customer Appreciation Day. I thought i had my problems figured out. My clutch cable was loosenign on its own every run...so i...

I ran into someone I met a whiel back at the track today. I told him how my clutch cable seems to loosen without the firewall adjuster turning. It doesnt always stay put but today the marks i made stayed at the top while the cable definetely loosened up.. After one run the cable loosens. He...

I just realized that Steeda now has a locking firewall adjuster. When I bought mine a year ago I called them concerned about the fact that there is no locking bolt in its design. They said thats the way they were making them. Every time I make a run I notice that there is more slack in the...

Trans has 15,000 miles on it. I bought a new RPM trans because I thought there was something wrong with my trans. Now I have the same problems with the new trans. If there is anything wrong with my stock trans it was fine on the street. I only had trouble with 3rd to 4th at the track and...

I have been told by JDM Engineering that there should be "no slack in the cable but not too tight" The Muscle Mustang and Fast Fords Article says "no slack but so that there is some play back and forth" side to side i think that means. They say 1/2 to 1 inch back and forth play at the trans...
