Default Diagnose this problem from video...

www.discountequity.com/Transproblem.wmv

It's at teh very end of the run. The car started making a horrid metal to metal sound. Clutch in- Sound went away. Clutch out, i got sound,... Then something changed and clutch in- no sound... Clutch out- Car stalls.
Now-- Car Goes into and through all the gears with clutch in. Clutch out-even in nutral- the car stalls. Car will roll in nutral and will not when in gear.


Car is being torn down in the next two days. What should I check?
BTW: There is one swear word at teh very end before I turn off the camera...sorry

Yes we did... And you were most likely correct. However, the suspense is killing me. And the car get's torn down today. And you did not have the advantage of seeing the video when we talked. Do you still think it's the same thing?

Seems to have broken after the finish during decceleration......hard to tell from the video, not enough noise from broken parts.

Matt, we're going to need to compare notes at the end of the season on who had the worst luck at PJCS.

I so don't want to know what Drew's going to take me for when this is all finished. $$$

I agree..

Drew isn't all that bad about the prices he charges. And he is pretty good at working on corvettes. Hope it won't hurt either of us too bad.

I couldn't hear any noises. I did however hear you pinned on the rev limiter once though.
Sounds like tranny though....Good luck!

I think the first thing I would look at is the shifter alignment using the alignment pin
