Me being my young and non-wise self decided to run the 87 last night at the drags.....it's my daily driver as my 85 still sits in need of an afm....well the tranny has had a problem. when it was in gear you could move the shifter back and forth like it was in neutral. it also was hard as hell to put into 3rd gear and it would pop out of it sometimes.....
it was a test and tune and I deep stage the car against a nice newer SS camaro with a really old guy driving it....the car has always had a traction problem at a high rpm launch so I kick it to 3500 and let it loose and get a shitty reaction time of .491
o well I get a jump on the SS and lose traction until I shift to 2nd..still ahead of the SS at the 60' mark of 2.497 which is still crappy...I dunno when i shifted to 3rd but I hit the 330' mark at 7.076 and a little after that the SS blew by me so I'm guessing that is where it all happened....
anyways:
when shifting into 3rd it just wouldnt go...I jammed and jammed really fast like and it finally went into gear....I lert off the clutch and my head hits the freakin steering wheel and all i hear is a big spin of the tires at 50mph........um.........1st gear :(anyways I get it into 4th and coast to the pits.
now I have major problems....but its tranny related. the car still ran fine and had good oil pressure and no noises. when i shut it down.....it wont start back up. the flywheel just spins so I'm guessing it is probably going to need clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, and t/o bearing
now everyone ask me if i learned anything

I took the starter off and I'm able to turn the flywheel with my index finger freely without turning the crank. I can turn the crank on the front of the motor and it will turn the flywheel with it....I'm lost. Is there a woodruff key that may have broke that keeps the flywheels on the crank? The flywheel has all of the teeth and everything so it has to be either a snapped crank or something.
