Washed the Z today, had to go to a DIY car wash since my association cut off the outside water for the winter and decided not to let anyone know they were going to do it.

Greg and I are in AV, and Ryan is in B-ville. Scott's in Farmington or Rosemount. So we're all pretty close if you want to introduce yourself at the next meet in the south 'burbs.

So....I've been stalling since last November to get a new trans or Clutch and flywheel. Noticed significant power loss and slippage of my Z so I started driving it only on weekends. UGH!

Anyways I'm hearing "howling" now that its colder, sounds like it might be the flywheel. So looks like I need a new Clutch+flywheel or transmission. 2 for ya'll Questions!

A. Any good shops with ok pricing and quality?

B. Do you guys think its the transmission or the clutch&flywheel? (


FML I SHOULD JUST DO A RB26 swap while I'm at it! Time for it to sleep.

Sounds like a throw out bearing...slippage from clutch engagement depending on how and when. It will require a budget

Don't waste your time or money on a rb swap. Not worth it. Do some more research on the rb swap and you'll change your mind in a second

Werd, btw Greg is it still considered a LS swap if you swap out your Z for a Vette.

Nice. That new sink strainer is really going to help from food not clogging your drains.

Oh the wheels will look good to on the mustang. But they're going to be a pita to clean lol

No havent got the tune yet cuz DB is saying i gota buy there Accessport in order for them to tune it and another 150 an hr for dyno, But Im on a budget right now cuz bought a home about a year ago gutted everything except the sheetrock and plywood and renovating and updating everything out of my pocket slowly to avoid any credit or debt. About $35k in already and got another $10-15k till complete. Doing the work myself since i work as a Home Remodeler. So im checking up on here for the Osiris, Wideband and Fuel Rail for a doog deal cuz i wana go up too 100 shot but dont wana risk leaning out.
