I am getting a clunking sound when I roll on/off the throttle. It is coming from the front drivers side. It sounds like a hammer hitting the axle. :???: I'm taking off the 15% and putting on the 19% tonight. Maybe I'll find the problem tonight. Any thoughts?

Check for a broken motor mount. Did you get lots of wheel hop? Was this at Epping?

Motor mount was my first thought. Yes, Epping. I risked throwing my shredding belt for the 300 mile round trip.

The Goodyear Gatorgrip belt I got from Terry Sather looks pretty beafy. I'm sure it will last longer than the NAPA belt.

>>Yeah, I'd recommend taking off the 15% and putting on the stock just on the off chance you might get something fixed under warranty.

The factory pulley will not go back on...
