burning smell.

I seriously doubt the clutch was fried from one bad launch. I'd have waited a little longer to buy a replacement unless it was slipping. Did you ever floor it

I seriously doubt the clutch was fried from one bad launch. I'd have waited a little longer to buy a replacement unless it was slipping. Did you ever floor it in 5th gear and see if the clutch was slipping? The smell takes a while to go away, usually not in two days.

Im not the kind of guy that likes to sit on things and see if it will fail. I also travel a lot. I was just in Tahoe. Can you imagine if it decided to completely quit on my in Tahoe? 8 hours away from where I live.

I think its embarrassing for something like that to happen. If I want to launch the thing should launch. Either way, Joe said this will last longer and is a much better clutch all the way around.

I have already had the master cylinder fail on me too. The clutch feels different to me, maybe I am thinking about it too much but it just doesnt have that instant grab feel it used too.


this is what I ordered.

Stage 2 CLutch
