So I was driving my car the other day and stopped in front of a house talking to my friend before heading home at 2am. All this time I had my ebrake up and didn't even notice because I was too tired. And I'm thinking, hey why not try n launch it real quick. Nothing crazy, just to see how it is. So long story short, I end up lauching it with the ebrake up. It felt like the car was spinning in first and second at redline and crazy *** clutch smell arose. I couldn't believe it. It was really stupid on my part, I realized it was up after all this happened. I took it home and let it rest for a day. I turned it on the next day to find out it works great except when taking off regularly, it vibrates the car right when the clutch is about to be engaged as your foot is coming off of it to take off. What the hell could have possibly happened? Pressure plate ? Clutch? I highly doubt the clutch could have been burned by this one time thing. Any input would be appeciated. I am taking it to the dealer right after I type this in. I'll let you guys know what's up.

Thank's.

ps: Other than the take off, everything feels fine. I just went full throttle the other day and shifted into 2nd and it felt normal other than ( maybe I was just paranoid thinking it didn't grab as hard as the first day)

 

You warped the parts from the heat of it slipping and burned the glaze off the disc. It works just like brakes and how they pulsate when the rotors get warped. It will probably smooth out a bit after the disc gets lapped in again, but don't expect it to recover totally since the warpage will remain. You probably lost a bunch of material off the disc too which of course shortens the clutch life.

 

Yea....That sounds pretty bad!!

 

Yup. Dropped the car off today and was told to wait until tommorow to see what happens. Will let you guys know then. Any other input for now ?

 

Up for more people.
