That makes sense. I can smell the clutch dust when I slam the clutch and speed shift(Can't powershift..........yet)

After that, is the clutch completely gone and needs a replacement?

When I killed the stock clutch and the Clutchmaster clutch it was game over and I had to pull over to the side of the road. It wont go in any gear after a complete failure. You'll know when it's dying though. it'll get very hard to get into gear.

That makes sense. I think that is what started happening to Erdals' Cobra. His clutch was either slipping, or he had a hard time getting it into gear.

I am with you Vin. I just live, lol.

Wouldn't the clutch be shaking and starting to smell or something? How does that work?
. you burn it for a few secs and it doesn't smell and once you are done, you started to smell that disgusting smell and it is too late. in this case, i would assume he started to smell before he was done and thought it was his tires.

here in this video, when i started to burn the tires in 3rd gear, i was still spinning the tires but with a mix of clutch slippage. I started to smell it after i was done with my burnout and shifted to 4th gear.

Got it. So, when you drove my slobra, after powershifting, we smelled the clutch dust, but that was nowhere near what happened in that video.

i dont think we smelled clutch after powershift. once i slipped it at launch thats when we started to smell the clutch and NO, it was a very very mild slippage. U will know when your cluch is about to die. you slam that gas pedal, RPMs goes high but the car is barely moving or moving like 15 sec car. thats when your clutch needs immediate attention. in this case, this retard, just sat there and burned it untill the clutch was gone completely. Thats why he couldn't drive. that won't happed to your slobra. plus stock clutch is very good in terminators.

I remember. It does not slip at all.

Not to go off topic, too much at least... I raced a Z28 wtih H/C/I + Full exhaust fron 2nd gear @ 40, and After I shifted, I smelled some burning. It smelled just like the time when it smelled when you were driving.

I am still shocked this guy did not know he was not spinning the tires. Wouldn't he hear the tires spinning, or see some kind of smoke, lol.
