Last night I put the car in 1st and floored it, but for some reason the clutch just burned instead of grabbing. It reeked a ridiculous amount, so I pulled over into a shopping center and let it cool for a few minutes before going back out...When I drove it home I didnt really notice any issues with it though. But the 2 times I drove it today, both times I got out of the car I could smell clutch coming from underneath..I hate the smell so much. Does anyone know what the issue could be? Dont give me any bs answers like "ope buy a new clutch." my car has 2200 miles on it.

 

Done.

 

 

well here is your answer. Sounds like a clutch problem or you cant drive. Your slipping it to much.

 

I knew thatd be the answer. But why the hell do I need a new clutch after just 2k miles? So ridiculous..Would the stealership cover it with my mods on?

 

updated my post.

 

MOST of the time I read about clutches going out so early in their lifespan....is due to the driver.....Not saying this is the case with you. Are you the original owner?

 

I'm an amazing driver, Im not slipping the clutch too much. I just dont know what it feels like to have one go out..Wouldnt it slip again on WOT if it were out?

 

Yes I am. But I bought the car with 150 miles from the dealer...So whatever the hell they did with it in that time I definitely don't wanna know..Even if they were burning the clutch like crazy the whole 150 miles I DO NOT believe that the clutch would or could fail so fast.

 

that would be nice if the stealership covered that

 

the stink was prob just there from last time no way u need a new cluch with only 2000 miles unless u bought it used and the previous owner launched every 2 sec but anyways it should be fine just dont drive it hard for a while cruse around and chill

 

^I really hope this is the truth...Any other input?

 

I was with him the first time that it happened today, and I assure you that it is not the driver. No slippage whatsoever...perfect engagement and shifts.

After just driving today it wasn't an outrageous smell in the cabin, but it was noticeable from outside.

 

you know, my brake switch on the e-brake handle went bad and the light on the dash doesn't go on when i pull it up. one night, i put it down like i always do but something must have been blocking the full travel down because i was still about 2-3 clicks engaged. it wasn't enough to make the car drag, but after about 5-6 miles of driving, i pulled into a gas station and thought i burned up the clutch. it was, however, the brakes. LOLOLOL. but it's probably your clutch.

 

Do this test to check for clutch slippage:

1) put the e-brake up as high as you can
2) put the car in 5th car
3) slowly left off the clutch
4) if the revs drop then the clutch is not slipping
or
5) if the revs increase then the clutch is slipping

Simple and easy test...
