so this forum was down when I started all of the install but wanted to take some time to catch everyone up on this site since a fair amount of folks asked me to post progress... keep in mind the trans is installed inverted with a custom Chevy bellhousing but the S4 comes standard upright with the Porsche bellhousing.
it would be nice if this forum allowed more than one pic per post as it takes a long time to upload progress pix one at a time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Started off with installing the Kennedy Stage 2 dual 8" disk clutch - good for 550 ft-lbs of torque (at sea level racing I make 438 ft-lbs so should be plenty). The flywheel is 10" diameter overall and the custom pilot bearing installed in the Chevy crank |

Drove it around the block a few minutes ago...
my thoughts???? JEEBUS CREEBUS does this thing shift fast (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) I looked just like this but much faster (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) shifting in one plane and the back end fishtailing. we should change the smiley to :timsbadassmofoS4: hahahahaha but with some smoke behind it cuz in the cold I blew the tires off all the way into 3rd even short shifting. I talked to Dwight earlier before going out and he reminded me to just palm and smack the shifter and not hold it at all - just bang the shifter and let it settle itself back. I accidentally one time left my hand on it (I am a hand-rest-on-the-shifter kinda guy) and it didn't like it. So that was the first shift to 2nd... after that I just smacked it forward and back and everything was fine. Reverse doesn't like to be selected - the lockout is fighting me a little, but Dwight said that just needs to loosen up a bit and getting the box to temp and running it a good track day will loosen and seat everything and it should be good to go. Thing rocks. |
