Hi David,
Yup. I know I'm headed for a tranny removal. No big deal just time consuming. I have seen cars that have never leaked or made any noise suddenly start spraying
oil and back fire when I tracked them. You are correct, the track does take it's toll.......I'd never stop doing it though
I always check things out before track time and between runs. I lost a couple lugs at WGI and was lucky enough to make it back to the garages. I had tightened them down before my first run that day. Taught me a very valuable lesson about checking the car every time!
I'll keep you up to date on the clutch. I won't have time to get to it until this coming weekend.
"At least you did not find pieces of
oil rings on your
oil drain plug like I did this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Bummer! Never a good sign. Let me know what you find.
