Thrust bearings?

Is it a clutch issue? Too much pressure on throw out bearing during release?

Car makes a ton of power and my goal was to run 9's with it. I put a fully built Freddy Brown AOD in it to make the car more manageable and consistent. Been having the problem ever since. I believe it's the very stiff JW flex plate that's causing the issue. In any event, I'm going back to a 6 speed.

I'm still waiting for my MM plates so I can start opening the 7 boxes of goodies sitting on my garage floor!

Back when I was on an Audi forum, we called that "on the bed." Guys would take photos of their new aftermarket parts on their beds, probably because most of these guys were young and still in small apartments and the bed was the only suitable open place to get a good picture. After awhile, it became such a thing that "on the bed" came to mean parts that were waiting to be installed. It would even be in signature lines. Like this:

2012 Boss 302 #926
Exterior Mods: FRPP Brake Cooling Ducts, FRPP Transmission Cooling Scoop
Interior Mods: FRPP Gauge Pod with Innovate Gauges
On the Bed: P-Springs, Watson Racing roll bar, MM camber plates, MM panhard bar


I actually did an "on the bed" photo a few months ago and never got around to posting it. It's actually missing the three things I just mentioned! I'm gonna need a bigger bed!

Ha! I'd have to lug everything up four flights of stairs (I live in one of those vertical townhouses) and my wife would kill me. So this will have to do.

On the Bed:
Koni Yellows
Steeda Sports
Strano bars
Steeda panhard

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

mounted the new tire, after a puncture in the old one.
thinking about patched the old one up and possibly using it as a spare down the line.

RoushF150,

How do you like your Moroso Coolant tank? Looks like a direct bolt on project which hopefully was an easy mod. I am considering doing this to my Boss as well and any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

yesterday I installed some spark plug anti foulers on the rear O2 sensors so far now CEL as I am not running cats with my TK programming.

I also a few days ago installed my AIRAID CF CAI. Which lead me to buy more CF parts for under the hood to match it.
