Re: Chevelle updates
I sure hope I'm not jinxing myself here, but.....
I think we've got it. I took the car on my usual test drive circuit plus a little detour "just because". I gently nudged it up....uh....a "bit" over the speed limit and the car is smooth as silk so far. I leaned into it a little bit from a roll in 2nd gear and there was no sign of clutch slip. I didn't want to pound on it just yet, I'll give things a little more time to get acclimated again first. As far as the clutch itself goes, it's smooth as silk as well...very nice engagement, no chattering in any forward gears and the pedal effort is mild as it was before. There is some chatter when backing the car up, but nothing I can't live with. The weather tomorrow is supposed to be nice, so I may try to get the car out for a bit more of an extended drive. Once I get a little more time on the car I'll try to get it to the track. Hopefully that will be before the summer is out. More later.

Re: Chevelle updates
That sounded great although I think you exceeded the 45mph speed limit by just a little. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]
