thanx to bill boudreau - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

jonszr1 · 01-09-2007

I had a clutch problem that was driving me nuts . everytime i pushed it in it squelled like a stuck pig. so i called bill. he is one special person . he solved my problem which was a combo of things but took the extra time to checkover fix/and teach me alot of things i had ?s about . Some of them were not even trans related. My car is now for me awsome . the clutch and trans work better than I could ever dream . Now even I can speed shift . If ya want it done right Clutch/trans Go to bill. pricing fair and work first class.=D>

so what was the problem?

jonszr1 · 01-09-2007

the pilot bushing was in too far(from the factoy) the pilot bushing was worn bad . this was the sneeky part if you looked/felt it youd think cool its still good.NOT.the thingy that holds the fork on the ball lost tension causing it to slip and not let the clutch work right . the ball and fork were also worn (sneeky here too). he took the time to show me the whys/effects of each thing . I watched shared stories during the whole process. Rminded me of my old hotrod days/ gettogethers to work on cars. He also spotted and fixed other potental probs .trans yoke worn bad and replaced the u-joints. plus he is almost anal about setting the c beam. my car is dead nuts smooth to 150 anyway. like driving on glass. I tried it on the way home (paniment valley). did it 3 times its soo smooth.

You can never go wrong with Bill's work.

Bill is a great guy and we are lucky to have him! He is a class act all the way

I'm with Kevin....a BB blueprinted trans is on my my wish list too! Along with a host of other people's finger prints that I'd welcome on my ZR-1

to Bill!

His blueprinted and cryoed tranny in my white car makes the car sooo much more enjoyable

The tranny work was worth every penny and more.
