I am complaining I spent a lot of money ($2000 IS A LOT TO ME) and I thought I'd get a lot more use out of it at my very low power levels.

Re: My Recently Blown Up Shep Stage 3

You should find another game to play if you can't afford this one.

Re: My Recently Blown Up Shep Stage 3
 

What are you even saying? What is the point of saying that in this thread? Because I don't like the idea of throwing another $3,000 at my car to get it back on the road and enjoy it? Sorry if I'm a little bummed that this tranny died.

Re: My Recently Blown Up Shep Stage 3
 

That was kinda of a retarded way to try and make yourself look good.....

Re: My Recently Blown Up Shep Stage 3
 

wow /life now!!!! :)

Re: My Recently Blown Up Shep Stage 3
 

I'm saying sooner or later, you will realize all you do with these cars is throw money at them, break shit, break shit because you're pissed, and throw more money at them.

You have far to go young padawan. If you had read my first post I said, "Damn I'm glad my dsm is gone."

Someone needs a big DSM hug!

Re: My Recently Blown Up Shep Stage 3
 

Fail.

A DSM isn't for everyone. It takes a lot of perseverance and patience to modify/maintain one. Hence why I sold my first DSM when I was 18. I just didn't know what it took.
The frustration, the money spent and the broken knuckles are all a part of owning one. But getting behind the wheel of one makes all the shit storms worth it.

Kevin, I would feel the same way if I were in your shoes. Are you gonna try to get another Shep, or try to find something else?

Re: My Recently Blown Up Shep Stage 3
 

I emailed Shep the other day, John Shepard replied a few hours later. He has a few interesting suggestions and offers.

One thing I will point out, he said Syncromesh is way too thin to protect the gears under heavy loads like freeway pulls. Ooops.

My Prism is pending sale tomorrow AM, guy put $500 cash down to hold it.

Should be getting some goodies pretty soon if all pans out :) aka twin and a stg 4.

Re: My Recently Blown Up Shep Stage 3
 

You bastard :lol: I'm sure you'll have fun with that set up!

Re: My Recently Blown Up Shep Stage 3
 

so Syncromesh is the culprit of this wolverine attack on your transmission?
Details!

Re: My Recently Blown Up Shep Stage 3
 

Well the Prism is sold :)

And after you have done this about 16 times (literally), on my back, going slow as heck, 2.5 hrs later the tranny is out.

Isn't this a typical picture...

Decisions, decisions. Do I even need a twin? My car isn't showing signs of slipping, but I just can't launch hard. I secretly want to blame the clutch. But no symptoms.

Re: My Recently Blown Up Shep Stage 3
 

Not clutch, user error. lol

Re: My Recently Blown Up Shep Stage 3
 

Most likely.

Re: My Recently Blown Up Shep Stage 3
 

The only thing I don't like about my twin is the noise from the unsprung disc's.

Re: My Recently Blown Up Shep Stage 3
 

Dunno what the trouble is launching that thing is. I launched mine with the 61 on it a few times, you gotta give it a split second of slip while you let it out off the launch limiter, by that time you should be shredding the tires.

Re: My Recently Blown Up Shep Stage 3
 

Ive learned 3000RPM isnt no where near enough to go anywhere when launching. To scared to try anything higher. Once you guys totally have it figured out. Ill be a gimme pig trying the various techniques out.

Re: My Recently Blown Up Shep Stage 3
 

What do you know about launching... You even have your license yet?

Re: My Recently Blown Up Shep Stage 3
 

its Guinea pig not Gimme pig.

Re: My Recently Blown Up Shep Stage 3
 

Didn't know they had driver's ed. in middle school.

Re: My Recently Blown Up Shep Stage 3
 

Haha. With my last, untuned, 20G car I could spin all 4!

This car? Just drives away. For some reason I think the NLTS rev limiter hits at 6k and I bog out. Even when NLTS is off it still sucks? too stiff suspenion in rear? (Car doesnt squat at all) Pressure plate suckin a wang? Me not pedalin' well? blah

Re: My Recently Blown Up Shep Stage 3
 

So does it bog out or just not rev over 6k then? heh I raced a 331 stroked mustang last night and found out that even 5500 on the 50 trim isn't enough rpm, dogged it bad. You tryed more rpm?

Re: My Recently Blown Up Shep Stage 3
 

I leave the line at 6000 rpm small slip and spin all 4 through 1st shift at 8500rpm, and grab 2nd hard, and spin some more.

Re: My Recently Blown Up Shep Stage 3
 

I had to up my 2 step my 2 increments on link I think I'm still about 5500ish range. But I'm not big powa

Re: My Recently Blown Up Shep Stage 3
 

I tried it just the other day 5k was good. You would of been amazed. Didnt dare do it again due to your txt about one launch braking the rear end coming through lol

Re: My Recently Blown Up Shep Stage 3
 

I think what happens is I hit the launch control rev limiter. I think the MPH isn't high enough or low enough?

Re: My Recently Blown Up Shep Stage 3
 

^what are your settings

Re: My Recently Blown Up Shep Stage 3
 

I found I like 4mph...
