Thats it Keith I heard enough, tommorow we will drive and determine ourselves how the clutch is, I would almost bet 99% that nothing is wrong with it. That 1% is that you are slipping and riding sh** out of the clutch. I really don't think that you are shifting in that way as to smoke it up. As far as the animal making a crib out of the V10 I will check this out if you want. I also highly highly doubt that there is any nest in the block. I could possibly see the intake manifold but even that is a question, how does the animal easily get passed the throttle bodies? Aren't they only fully open at WOT? You don't think the animal was sucked in under WOT and decided to build a nest at the same time do you? I'm sorry but I am not buying the Dealer's estimate, solution and $400.00 bill to solve the problem. Oh yea the clutch, I'm not buying that story either. Dimitrios has an original clutch that is strong as balls driving with drag radials, several 1/4 mile runs, and tearing up the streets in the city. I know he has alot more mile than you. I have 32,000 on my original clutch and I'm not easy on it.
