  1. So everybody's dealt with the "sticky clutch" on these. But it's sticking DOWN. mine, of course as usual had to be WEIRD and stick UP. First took fine, go to shift to second clutch is stuck all the way up. Stomp it and something inside the bell housing was so bound up that the pressure actually forced the master hydraulic line to pop right off the slave. Pulled the Trans and my initial idea was a jammed slave, but my findings are otherwise. Slave? It's working just fine. Moves in and out without issue. I don't know how to tell whether a clutch is good or not off of a motor but it's sitting on a box next to the car, and the plates look fantastic (clutch has 10k-ish miles and is a performance clutch so she's pretty good it seems.) I have it all torn down but nobody really has much for ideas or answers for me and to tell ya the truth, I'm stumped. going to wind up replacing the master, the hydraulic line, the slave, the pilot bearing, and I'm doing everything in my power not to replace the clutch itself. After the load up, tow home and getting it jacked up and started wrenching, I noticed there's a bit of a ring INSIDE the hydraulic line on the slave side. One half of this ring was damaged and it doesn't appear to be replaceable so that's why I'm saying piss on it and replacing the whole line and master. I just don't want to slap it together and still be stuck. Does anybody have any ideas? What was so freaking wrong with a mechanical clutch lol they were so much more simple!
  2. Again thanks fellas! Yeah she's monstrous. So monstrous with no trans and all... lol
  3. Sorry didn't attach last time here she is!
  4. Here's the 2nd most recent dyno sheet. After the high flow install she gained 9 hp, but I don't have that sheet. She's pretty nasty haha.
  5. Thanks fellas. Chris good to see you again buddy. I'm not 100% sure on the build I know it's all bolt ons. High flow pump, stock LS1 injectors for fuel supply. LS6 (I believe) intake. Aluminum heads. Nice big ass cam. Long tubes and Borla tunable exhaust. Factory bottoming end. just pulled restrictor plate out of exhaust last night she sounds SICK! Is currently sitting on jack stands in my garage. Slave took a monster shit yesterday so doing new slave and master! But yes she's a sweet ride. I have dyno sheets for 411, but it was re tuned after the hi flow install made another 9 horse so 420hp. I figure she's ranted 500 at the crank. It is SO bad ass.
  6. I haven't been on the site in years. Years ago I had an 05 Pontiac Montana SV6 and I was one of maybe 2 or 3 vans on the site. That is long gone being driven by a different family member. I've been driving trucks and beater cars the last few years and finally came across my opportunity. I bought myself another Pontiac yesterday. 2002 Trans Am WS6. Already nicely build, recent dyno sheets put her at 411 whp and boy does she scoot. This one, is one I'll hold onto for a while. She's a beauty. Might I also say, it feels GREAT to be back! Both into a Pontiac and onto the site!
