Jesus, no need for a "Vipertech" to replace a clutch!!
Some of you guys even go to the dealer for carwashes... I understand going for a problem or part unique to the Viper... But a clutch change on a T56 tranny is a standard procedure, any ***** mechanic can do it for 1/10th dealer cost.

Zorro speaks the truth here. What is wrong with this statement as opposed to the many other strong statements some of us post here? It seems that if someone wants to save money and do it themselves a PM or public post to Zorro might just help them out. Is it ok to own a Viper and not be able to afford what might be considered major repair costs? Isn't this one of the reasons some of us come here to the forum, so we can learn how to work on our own cars? Yes, I can afford to have a tuner do all my work, but that's only because of hard work and good fortune. I would rather have a guy like Zorro telling me it can be done than a Warfang telling me it can't.

Obviously, not a Viper owner.
While replacing a clutch is common procedure, it is very evasive... lots of stuff taken off. A good Vipertech will know what other problems to look for that is specific to Vipers, while the mechanic around the corner wouldn't know squat... not to mention the high chance of the guy taking the snake out on a joyride, while taking a break from tooling on minivans and Neons all day long.
You can go to any ghetto free health clinic to get your appendix removed too, but I'd rather go to a good hospital.

Warfang, you know better than this, and if you don't you might consider there are many qualified mechanics and Viper owners that can replace a clutch on a Viper. Referral to ghetto was a statement of comparison I hope and not some "redneck" leaking out?
Thank You Warfang!
jose must be drinking that *** again?

Tator, you don't know me. We spoke but once regarding a wiring solution I was looking for and you seemed hurried and not focused when I called. Knowing everone has a bad day, I just have to assume this statement was made in jest on one of those days. I know most revere you here and it is well deserved, I'm just not sure I would ever call back.

Plenty of non-owners hang out here... they usually wear the title of "Enthusiast"... like you. Talk to the admins to update your status if you're really a owner.

Cheap shot Sheriff John. I remember quite vividly when it was used against you. That's when you became a member, right? I'll tell you what is the lowest of low. Not the lurkers, but the VCA members who anonomously come here to opine with names like Warfang. Again, I ask what is a Warfang? Is it a kind of redneck?

While I'm sure there are competant mechanics out there, it takes a lengthy relationship before anyone in their right mind would send a Viper to an unknown grease monkey.
I'm sure you and your personal mechanic have a loving, trusting relationship, and I'm happy for you... let me know where you guys are registered.

Warfang, not everyone needs to have homosexual relationship with a grease monkey or personal mechanic where most of us come from. Is a Warfang a type of Brokeback redneck? Is grease monkey a term of endearment or could some of us that had grease monkeys for fathers take offense? Mechanic or ***** mechanic would have sufficed.
You fellows that like to come over to the SRT side are welcome and have every right, but if this is the type of stuff that spews out where you come from, I for one do not welcome it here. Again, disturbs my concentration and entertainment. I HATE BIGOTRY. It is not necessary to make your points using it.
