my contour wont bark 2nd gear

[drivebymashing]

my svt contour wont bark second gear anymore
i used to be able to floor it at 2k in first and chirp and then bark second
now it wont do anything chirping or barking or squeaking
bf goodrich 225/50/16s g force sports took my barking
it handles better though.....

oke: Try Making It Sit Up And Beg For A Bone!!! Better Still Have It Eat The Bird And You Won't Have Any More Chirping Either!!!:beer:

this is an awesome post!

 

[D's01Snake]

I think because its a contour

 

[D's01Snake]

o snap!

 

[ryanblacksvt]

Mine barks 3rd no problems!

 

[drivebymashing]

how does yours bark 3rd
mine wont bark 3rd in the snow
well maybe if i dump the clutch at 7k

 

[SVTone]

because look what he has on his contour LSD new transaxle ect

 

[drivebymashing]

a limited slip to me means more traction less barking gears i could be wrong
and what would a new transaxle have to do with it
i want my car to bark second again with good tires
not cooper lifeliners

 

[SpookSVT]

The less barking they make the better. If you want them scream so bad it sounds like you need a built up 3L or if you want them to cry for mercy try a power adder.

 

[drivebymashing]

3l is in my plans with aluminum flywheel stage 1 spec clutch
i dont want it to rip the tires off i just want it to spin when i feel like spinning
or at least a friggin bark every now and then

 

[csvtjohnga]

this is my plan

Vortech....yea'll mated to a 3L/LSD ill bark third

 

[TGO]

where the hell are you guys still getting vortecs from??

anyway...never really tried to rip tires before the LSD. After it was in, if i drop it at like 3.5k i can spin them pretty much as long as i want. especially with the 18" s on the car. Well...i haven't tried since i got new tires. But even with the 225/50/16's i had i could do it pretty nice.

I s'pose the lightened flywheel helps a little bit too though.

 

[ryanblacksvt]

Yes the lightened flywheel makes a biiiiiig differance too, add the lsd and barking 3rd is easy.

 

[beyondloadedSE]

my dog barks.

 

[drivebymashing]

so you think with a lightened flywheel and stage 1 or 2 clutch
i got an intake and exhaust removed resonator and flowmaster system
im gonna do the tb optimization and y pipe this weekend hopefully
maybe i can bark 3rd?
ill get the lsd when i bust my diff or get the 3l engine installed

 

[TGO]

i wouldn't go around trying to do all this on a stock trans. even with upgrades it's kinda pointless. lol once stuff starts breaking on your car you'll agree.

every SVT is different too...friend of mine bill (slimshady on CEG) could chirp 3rd gear consistantly. his car was faster with very few mods (just a sho shop y pipe catually) then lots of other contours. he also was a crazy driver!

I still don't get the issue of 'barking' gears unless you are trying to impress ricers. It could be a simple issue of having decent tires on the car. Put crappy tires on it if you want to feel cool and bark the gears. ONly thing that is going to get you is broken drivetrain parts.

i agree with you, why would you want to lose traction, if your spinnng those tires you aint going anywhere, i tried that into second and took the tranny right out so be carefull
