my wonderful clutch issues *update*
 
well the guys at ecs said to bring it in, so im having it towed up there thursday morning. I guess they are going to inspect the entire hydrolic system and hopefully find the problem....

i havent calmed down, stoped thinking about it since the first second it happened, and i hope whatever they find is an issue with somthing i bought from them, and that they honor their parts.

if not ill be out 3 tows, and out a car for at least half the summer as i am low on funds and cant afford to make the same purchaces 2 times in 2 months.....

i understand that with racing things will break......but a 2 month, 2400 mile old hydrolic system shouldnt be one of those things. i will update this thread as soon as i drop it off and talk to chris in person.

Hope everything works out today. If the company has any respect for their own name they will fix or replace whatever broke.

good luck bro

well its there....... chris said to "not worry about it" and that "no matter how hard i was on the car, it cant be my fault".

he had 3 vettes in the shop, and was out in the parking lot with the valve covers off a supercharged, juiced 427 c5 while i was talking to him

said he wasnt too busy so he will look at it asap and call me with every update.

so far so good, we shall see

Ian 05-12-2005 05:41 PM

What shop is this that you're dealing with? TTP?

Mike 05-12-2005 05:49 PM

east coast supercharging

NJSPEEDER 05-12-2005 06:06 PM

i drive past there all teh time on my way to new egypt speedway. they have a good reputation, so i wouldn't worry about it too much.

later

Ian 05-12-2005 07:28 PM

I've heard nothing but great things about that shop. I really doubt you'll be upset by what they have to say about it. IE they'll probably foot the bill.

Mike 05-12-2005 09:05 PM

i know he will take care of the hydros, im just scared that it might have toasted the clutch as well, and i didnt buy that from them....

only time will tell, and if i wasnt broke as **** i wouldnt even be worried.

Ian 05-12-2005 09:43 PM

I would think that if your clutch did get fried, they would pay for it. Their work failed causing the clutch to fail, so it would still be their fault whether it was their clutch or not.

j0n 05-12-2005 09:44 PM

:stupid: and apparently they are well-liked so they should pony up the cash for a new clutch

12secondv6 05-12-2005 10:48 PM

They did my v6.... seems to run quite well ;)

I was always happy w/ their work

Sorry to hear of your woes :(

Clutch Master 05-12-2005 10:51 PM

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!

Mike 05-12-2005 11:16 PM

i currently have no woes with ecs...just the parts that are on the car. if they can take care of everything and keep me up to date with whats going on, then i will not have any problems with them at all

just sent my n2o fill permit in with them as the location of fills.... so i cant get too mad
:lol:

Mike 05-17-2005 08:38 AM

Mike 05-17-2005 08:45 AM

it broke tuesday night.... i took it there first thing thursday morning. they seemed busy and with the weekend in there too, i dunno if i should call or just give em another day or 2

Tru2Chevy 05-17-2005 10:25 AM

I say if you don't hear from them by this afternoon, you should give them a call and just ask if they have had a chance to look at it yet. If so, then ask them what it looks like.
