my blazer used to be esay to shift into all gears, but when i got my new clutch put in i dont think something lined up rite. 3rd and 5th are farther over to the right now an thats what make it hard for me to grab a gear now. i have gotten used though.

went to the track again. this time my locker is toast. first run was a 17.5 with a 3.6 60' time. of course it was only a hair above 30 degrees out. spun horribly off the line. next pass i held 1300 or so rpm's and rode the clutch like an aggressive street start 2.3 60 foot and a 15.78. ran the same e.t. the rest of the nght. i know i can get low 15's like it is if i can launch but since my rear aint to hppy with me rite now im limitd to the one wheelie peelie. anybody have any ideas on what i should do or were i can replace the locker for cheap?

Rcars, how the heck did you do a brake stand. only time I can do any wheel spin is if it's wet or turning. tried brake standing it once and got nothing, not even one tire like i was expecting.

HUH? really? mine is a 5 spd but dam it is still easy to spin them tires. in fact it spins way to much lol... but i beleive that Rcars is refering to were you stage an automatic. after you set the lights you hold the break in and bring your engine up in the rpms. since you have the break depressed you wont move and the extra rpms off the line help with launching. he wasnt trying to explain a burn out

ive tried to burnout before and unless its wet only one tire spins and the brakes have to be warmed up to do that
