    Upgraded the snake today! Thanks SVS and Valaya Racing!!!

    I brought in my snake (98 RT/10) to Ted at Valaya Racing in San Jose for some minor repairs and most importantly, upgrades. The difference is night and day. First of all SVS was kind enough to overnight the new shifter to Valaya. I was having a new clutch installed, with the new SVS shifter...

    Need a new clutch.

    I think its time for a new clutch. The gears are getting harder to shift through and I am also smelling a faint bruning smell, although possibly not related. Regardless, it has 23K miles and I am getting ready to upgrade the shifter to the SVS model. I figured why not get the clutch done too...

    Does my soft top fold up?

    Probably a dumb question from a newbie but... I bought my 98 RT/10 and it came with a Mopar hardtop and softtop. I was told that the softtop will fold up and fit into the trunk. Is this easy to do? I can't seem to figure it out very easily and I don't want to f-up my soft top. Advice or how-to...
