Thanks again Ranger !
WAS sometimes missing 3rd with hard acceleration. Picture says it all. Everyone needs to read and apply the sticky from Ranger post to clean out clutch reservoir.
Thanks

I was at the drag strip last week with two new ZR1s. To keep the clutch pedal normal we had to swap the fluid out three-times at pass #10 and again at #20. The fluid accumulated clutch dust that fast under launch and high-rpm shifting. But the protocol kept the clutch/tranny combo happy throughout the day.

Zr1 Thread is in blue type. Just click on it. Cool article. That's what I was referring to.
If you are looking for the clutch fluid change help click on the "maintain your clutch" link in his sig.

I've done 2 complete swaps now w/pumping and as of today, 2 without pumping (just remove fluid from the resorvoir, clean, and fill back up (per need-for-speed). It's a daily check now until it stays clear (whenever that is).

I started out checking mine every day after reading Ranger's thread. I then changed it on Wed. and Sat. I now change it every Sat and it is much clearer than when I started this process. I have chosen to make it a part of my routine on Saturdays after washing and cleaning my car.
