can't get car to shift
 
after tuning it to where I THINK its running OK, and playing with the adjustment screw, I still cannot get my Tornado BB to shift...I know what it should sound like as my friend has one and his shifts just fine, but for some reason no matter what I do it just won't do it. Is there anything these things are known for that would cause this? FYI it has never shifted, even the day I got it...
Thanks,
Gary

take out your tranny and then unscrew the screw and take the spring and ball out, spray some wd40 or brake cleaner in there and then put it together.
it happens all the time with me.

mine always sticks in second.

you really can but my god its a p.i.a to get that stupid screw back in right. it always catches on the spring or somthing.

just make sure to get it all the way in and then back it out or you could loose the screw, it feels like it might be all the way in when its not.

you should come down to Easley there is a very nice track there.

ok well pulled the tranny and went to pull out the screw - its not there anymore. Is there any way to buy a new screw/spring/ball to put back in there or do I need to order thw whole thing...

you need to get the 2 speed clutch, i reccomend clermontmotorsports for parts, i have dealt with him since this forum has been here. http://www.clermontmotorsports.com/s.../Detail?no=125

is the spring still there?

you can buy those grub screws from clearmont, there only like 2 bucks for a few of them.

if you lost the whole thing i think your screwed.

yeah the whole thing is gone, I just ordered the whole clutch from Clermont, hopefully it will be in before the weekend when I have to run it...
