Lencos in SS

What car? What Class? A Super Stock car??

Jerico may have taken some of the back cut out of the faceplates and they could be a newer design. I broke second gear in one of the first ones they build and I've always shifted a Super Stock car with the clutch. In fact, under power you couldln't pull it out of gear with both hands if you wanted to.

i agree with pvt parts. the g-forces we have that are clutch assisted could never be pulled out without some ignition interuption. i know people say they drive them without the clutch, but not the ones we own.

Well, i dug some videos out of my library the other night and was watching some footage from national events from about 10-12 years ago and it was sure nice listening to all the stick shift drivers in Stock/Super Stock using the clutch as they went down the track-those were the days...

That indicates too much clutch, base pressure, centrifugal pressure or a combination of the two. My 1997 Jerico was no different. Until I got the clutch right I couldn't pull it out of gear either. It's all in the clutch, not the tranny.

i am no clutch genius, as this statement will confirm, but if a clutch is so loose you can pull a trans out of gear under what would normally be impossible conditions, how can the car be quicker if the clutch cant even put a normal load on the druvetrain. looks like you need something more than a clutch adjustment, looks like you might need more power.

RPM and uninterrupted application of it....

let me restate my question, if a motor pulls good from 8200 to 9900, and you lock it down hard in all 5 gears, and you see it never dropped below 8400, and did not blow the tires off, what benefit is slipping the clutch?

Question for Sean How do you know if drivers in videos are clutching?
Thanx Trevor
