Nothing so far. I'm babying it for a while. I am still kicking around the idea of putting in the Grimmspeed Tranny Cocktail but I hate the idea of draining $70 of perfectly good AMSOIL. I recently added a small amount Lucas Oil tranny fix. It's a friction modifier similar to what you'd get with the cocktail. No change yet...maybe I didn't put enough in, but I didn't want to overfill it and damage the seals.
If I basically butterfly shift into 4th (though I still use the clutch) it doesn't realy grind. 5th is still hit or miss. Doubling clutching helps sometimes.
What is strange is how I can almost always avoid a grind, especially when downshifting into 4th. From 5th, I put the clutch in, shift into 3rd but don't let the clutch out and THEN go right to 4th, there is no grind.

Can anyone explain this? I have a very limited knowledge of whats going on inside the tranny. :lol:

My commute now, since I moved in with my gf, is about 15 miles one-way.

 

[IGOTASTi]

Thanks for the update.

What happened to the compression ratio thread? I'm assuming it was removed by Fuji. Smh :banghead:

 

[Batmobile_Engage]

There's my old Spec clutch and OEM flywheel.

 

[IGOTASTi]

You saving that for a rainy day?

 

[Batmobile_Engage]

I only saved them to show you guys and I thought MAYBE someone might want the flywheel, which they'd obviously have to resurface. See the chunks of clutch welded onto the flywheel?

 

[IGOTASTi]

Saw that. How many miles was on that?

 

[Batmobile_Engage]

Psssh....smh....10,000.

Btw...you see the a/c reading in the other thread? Wtf?!

 

[IGOTASTi]

Psssh....smh....10,000.

10,000 miles? Are you kidding?

 

[Batmobile_Engage]

I shit you not.

 

[IGOTASTi]

I shit you not.

Warranty?

 

[Batmobile_Engage]

I highly doubt it. The only warranty I remember was quite short. I'm sure I've exceeded it.

 

[IGOTASTi]

Don't hurt to check. Who did you buy that from?

 

[Batmobile_Engage]

Jordan at Defined. He said the warranty is expired as well.

 

[IGOTASTi]

How old is it? Like more than a year?

 

[Batmobile_Engage]

Yeah, I bought and installed it in spring 2012.

 

[IGOTASTi]

Still only 10,000 miles. HOLY CRAP! :rambo:

 

[Alin]

Defect? What would be a cause for it going out so damn quick?

 

[Batmobile_Engage]

The flywheel being resurfaced twice probably. George says that will cause it to develop hot spots and glazing. I'm guessing that's what caused the clutch to insta-weld to it.
