alright here is the deal. i was trying to launch just like i usually do, meaning rev it to 6 slip the clutch a bit and then once i feel it start moving let it go fully. well today i did all tht but when i felt it moving i let it all come out fully but my car didnt move one bit. the 02 dump opened up and it didnt move just revved. it didnt pop out of gear cause my right hand was on it at full time. what do you guys think it could be? drives normal under normal conditions. clutch feels good.hmm any advice would be great

IM me if you know what it could be. Solfastd16
 
Uh, sounds like you're nuking your clutch, or your tranny. Revving it to 6 grand is BAD - I did it once and the next day my throwout bearing completely failed on me, it wasn't pretty.

If the only problem that you've got is that it won't launch, I'd say count your blessings, cuz it could/should turn out a lot worse.
 
:cry: :cry: :cry: whaaaaaaaaa so your saying my car cant launch no more, damn takes out the whole point of having the damn extra weight of the rear end. Ill miss those great launchs:cry: :cry: :cry:

but seriously i thought thats the proper way to launch. i know anything under 5200ish my car bogs. its stage 4 clutch masters clutch setup. it should hold it. damn !oh well ateast got my beater 91 laser still running.:thumb:
