i was in a hurry today and reved the engine quite high (4-5K) before releasing the clutch. instead of the wheels squeling, the clutch slipped all the way in first gear to red line. smelled kindda funny afterward but it seemed to be operating normal now. did i do any damage to the clutch? will it have the tendency to keep slipping now that's happened? it's a fairly fresh clutch.

 

it's not good for the clutch, but if it's still fairly new and still grips alright it should be fine, just do do that too often

 

some people actually do it all the time, i think its called having a heavy foot, but dont worry itll be fine

 

fairly fresh clutch? then youre good to go. just don't do it too many times

 

thanks for your feedbacks, guys. now i'm not so worried anymore. (just alittle bit still) so this has happened to you all before and no problem huh? cool... i won't do it again though. i promise foreal!

u dont need to promise us.. make sure you promised yourself. and just becareful.

what kind of clutch was it by the way? stock or aftermarket and how new/old is it?

 

i'm assuming it's an oem or equivalent clutch. the car (a gsr) is completely stock so i doubt it that it's a performance aftermarket clutch. i've just recently bought the car and i was told both the timing belt and clutch are within a few months old so it should be good for at least 20 - 30k or so miles. i will get it upgraded eventually but not unless i have to because it's working great now (most of the time).
