I did a few practice runs last night, and I reved to 5000-5500, and dumped the clutch, got a bog at about 3000. so I came around and staged at 5000-5500, and tried to slip the clutch, all I got was clutch smell, and a second gear grind. any body got advice? I am thinking about 6000-6500 and dump the clutch, any body tried this ? I need a better way, on a stock clutch.

I tried slipping the clutch and IT went but IT SMELLED HORRRIBLE and I THINK I SLIPPED too much cuz although it went and didnt bog but the Launch did not feel fast at all.

 

Oh yea by the way you cant just rev to 5000rpm and slip it will BOG, what I did was keep REVING the engine and try to maintain a 5000 RPM and once i am about to fully release the clutch i floor it.

 

The only way to not burn it is to not do it, with that said rev to low 5k, slip until it engages, then mash it to the floor. That is how most people are getting good results. You can launch higher but have a clutch replacement on standby.

If you dump you will bog everytime. Its all about how well you can slip it or feather it. Make sure that once it engages you let off the clutch before you mash it, or it will smell bad and put your clutch 6 feet under

 

yea I think my problem is I released it to slow and when i MASH it THE CLUCH continu to SLIP badly at 5-6000rpm but it goes just NOT FAST at all.

 

I've made quite a few passes in my EVO and have tried every method of launching. I found that my best times came from launching at 6500 while dropping the clutch. It may not be so good for the drivetrain but it works.

 

It takes some getting used to, but once you get it, it will be automatic

 

If you can smell the clutch while launching you are not slipping it fast enough.
6500rpm clutch dumps--->bad for drivetrain..at least on my car.
