So I was driving a ss/sc and for some reason right about 2-2.5k in first it decided it wanted to buck and everything... i pushed the clutch back in and then took it back out and everything seemed fine... what do you guys think this could have been? any ideas?

I know the clutch isnt that sensitive is it?

 

if you let off the gas at ALL in first, it bucks like crazy. first gear is extremely touchy. wait till you mod it, it only gets worse.

 

^^well i didnt let off the gas though.. i was probably going about 15 ish or so getting going and then all of a sudden it did this... iw as like What the heck...

 

well i would said either something is wrong, or it's just getting used to it. like i said, first gear is very touchy, and the clutch is weird in this car, but the clutch has nothing to do with it if you were going 15 or so. but ANY adjustment in throttle in first gear that's not buttery smooth and that will happen. i'm 26, took my driving test in a manual, and it took me a good couple of months to get used to driving this car.

 

yea, and compared to most cars we have a relatively low axle ratio, in any of the Balts, but the SS/SC having a 4.05, that contributes to what you were talking about. Ever drive a 4x4 in 4-low??? same thing in my opinion.

 

balt clutches suck

 

lol thanks for the insight tim... lol.. i might just have to get this car man.. i really want an ss/sc lol
