So i had a rough outing with the evo last night and accidently over revved (like 7+k) on the launch and you could smell it burn instantly but the weird thing is i can still smell it today...

I drove it around today and it doesnt slip which is good news and it has full power and all that good stuff but im just wondering if its normal to smell it after 18 hours lol

Let me know guys and thanks ahead of time for the info!!

 

Sounds like you burned it pretty bad. Its normal to still smell it especially if you havent been driving it because the clutch dust will stick around and smell untill it disperses.

 

^thanks man, yeah i dont ever drive like that...i havent really driven it much lately so im guessing i was bit rusty...i hope the clutch is alright it only has about 1,000 miles on it so hopefully that helps since its so young yet

 

You should be all good just let the car/clutch cool off before you drive it again. The reason why youre smelling it cuz the clutch dust is still in the bellhousing.

I smoked my dsm's stock clutch at the track and it smelled for a while but went away. Get on the highway and punch it in a higher gear and see if it slips but it sounds like youll be allright.

 

yeah i drove it today a few miles and it definitely wasnt slipping but i didnt punch it in a higher gear...it was in 2nd and 3rd when i gave it a few good gos

 

It is very normal to smell clutch for a few days after you burn it. Dont worry about it. It should be fine. Stop launching at 7rpm btw.

 

^thanks lol i didnt try too i never have before either...lets just say something else distracted me when i was about to go
