While on my way to Tulsa, from the KC area, to attend the Shelby meet in June (XXXX) I stopped at the track in my Shelby to get some fuel While there I noticed the track was actually partially operating and was able to make a couple of passes As is a well known problem with these cars, the clutch disintegrated (the car had only miles)
At first I thought I was in luck as *** from Blow By Racing was at the track with a customer of his and took a look at my car It was quickly discovered that the clutch was toast Since it was Friday evening, my options were limited as to a fix to get me back on the road *** said that he had a clutch in stock and could ship from Florida the following day I spoke with *** the following morning (who is very nice...until she has collected your money) and ordered the clutch I paid over $extra for shipping so I could receive it by Monday and hopefully make my return trip that same day After the mechanic *** of Archangel Motorsports) received the clutch, he immediately started working on the car He started experiencing problems after reassembling everything with the new clutch including a leaking throw-out bearing He ended up taking everything in and out twice before discovering that BBR had sent the wrong clutch The receipt clearly shows the Spec clutch was for a Shelby After speaking with the manager at Spec (***) and the main technician (***) they both informed me that they WOULD NOT recommend using that clutch for a in my They said even if it would work it would require modifications, shims and bottom line they had not seen anybody doing it and why would I even want to try since it was not the one the car called for ***, who by this time had became quite nasty, tried to claim they knew Spec clutches better than Spec did and it would work Bottom line is I incurred extra expenses of over $that included paying for overnight shipping, paying my mechanic extra for taking everything apart times, rental car expenses, motels, gas, etc Blow by didn't care and basically told me too bad and continued to blame me for spending so much on replacing a clutch I have seen the negative reviews on this company and can understand the frustrations of the other unhappy customers I considered a small claims case against them but have to do that in Florida Fortunately I will be in FLin the spring and plan to pursue action against them to recoup the money they clearly are responsible for Steer clear of this place or you are asking for trouble
