I understand that, my question is, is it bad if my clutch feels like crap trying to get the car moving from a cold stop... I'm trying to determine how much damage I've done to it by burning it up 3 times.... I mean, it feels like complete crap getting the car moving from a standstill right now .... once I'm going it's fine.

 

It might just be clutch material that you have to burn off. Drive it some more and see how it feels. Also, be sure to do a highway punch from 2500rpm to see if it slips at peak torque (right around peak boost). The way you burned your clutch is the worst possible way. It's one thing to have it slip a little on the launch, but to slip it so hard that it shoots almost to the rev limiter and stays there in the next gear? You can't burn the clutch any worse than that. Well, actually, I once did it through all 5 gears, because I never let off and was powershifting, then ended up with a 12.7@103 (clutch was slipping across the finish line, haha), but that was on a strong aftermarket clutch where I tried to pummel it with a 7k hard slip, but it didn't hold.

Mellon, there's really no answer to that question. Depends on the wtq and launch method, but it won't last long with any amount of real power.

 

lol, thanks Warrt.

I'm gonna continue driving it and I'll keep the thread updated. I did one brief punch from 2000 to about 3500 in 5th gear and it didn't slip at all.
