I recently got my clutch change 2 months ago and have already break in the clutch. But recently I notice there is a clutch smell everytime i pull into my driveway which has a slight incline, but there is no smell when driving normally. Could adjusting the clutch pedal solved the clutch engagement and solve the problem?

 

anyone?? i also have a friend that is having the same problem? we both have comp stage 2 clutch with stock resurface flywheel..

 

I am not saying you do not know how to drive, but are you riding the clutch up the incline?

 

yeah i believe the clutch is riding when on incline. but the weird thing was it never had this problem on the stock clutch. After my buddy and i switched over to that clutch it happen, maybe the clutch isnt grabbing right??

 

I have the same clutch & the same terrible smell. Sadly, there have only been a few people who have this problem or at least mention it. I am running the unsprung clutch.

I will be changing it out soon.

I live in a hilly area. My act hdss disc & 6puck disk never made any smell, when making 600whp/550wtq.

fwiw, i swapped my oem clutch out @ 40k miles, while making ~350/350 for 30k miles of it's life. The oem clutch is in great shape & is on the shelf as a spare, if i need to go back in a emergency.

I have been driving stick for ~34 years....

 

Who installed the clutch and do you have any other symptoms? Any grinding noises, cant shift at high rpm, notchy and resistance putting it in gear, etc... You may be experiencing clutch drag but Id like more feedback from you. Also, start you car, put the ebrake down, push clutch pedal to the floor, put in 1st gear, raise rpms to rev limiter. If your car moves forward below the rev limiter your clutch is dragging.

 

I has a reputable shop do the install, they only specialize in evo so i dont think the install was the cause of problem. The clutch ride like stock if not better than stock to be honest but its just the smell when im on the incline. No gear grinding, shift smooth. No high Rpm lock out since i baby the car and the clutch. Car starts a little weak but it might be the spark plug since it still on stock plugs at 57k.

 

Just start parking in the street and avoid the incline ha ha!

 

@Aby@MIL.SPEC how long have you been on that clutch setup? any slip when in gear or from the clutch?

 

Just wondering if you still have the clutch pill.

 

i do. the car is pretty much stock.

 

I have the same problem as you until I took off the pill. No more delay in engagement now and smell

 

wow really? what was the point of the clutch pill in there for? Me and a friend both have the same clutch and we both have the symptom.

 

To delay the engagement so that noobs can easily drive the evo gsr and to not break things to noob launchers.

 

It clogs the line inside your clutch master.
