how do you burn out a clutch?


shifting to hard? etc etc?

 

dropping the clutch, rideing the clutch

 

Riding it. Popping the clutch. Exceeding the clutch's power limits. Bad break-in.

 

You've been around since 2003 and hopefully learning something and you ask this? Im not sure what kind of answer you are looking for.

jus ride the sh*t outta it and see what happens to it ! oh and i bet u will luv the smell after your done ! hahaha

 

The clutch is a normal-wear part, like brake pads. That is to say that with normal operation, it will become worn. People wear out clutches more quickly by driving poorly. Riding the clutch (keeping the pedal partially depressed) and engaging/disengaging too slowly are the two ways that people normally wear out a clutch quickly.

i did this in my old 1984 mazda 626, i always wondered how hard it would be to start out in 5th gear(my first stick car), and i had to redline it and let the clutch out so slowly, after that it smelt so bad in the car and outside for days

 

clutch smells like *****.

Must be Canadian. I'm sorry that the women over there have their area smelling like burnt clutch. You can always cross the border...

 

I've always driven a manual, since I learned how to drive. I've never had to replace a clutch. I've had a manual Crx, A mazda b2000 (Old school) and my car now.

 

driving...

Your clutch will wear out sooner or later.
The time it takes just depends on how well you drive.

 

How long does the "average" clutch last?...mines about to go...time to get gouged by some shop to get it changed. And I would do it myself if I had the tools and knew how, but yeah I have neither.

 

so shifting fast is will help my clutch lasdt longer...?

No, because then we risk getting hurt and not being covered by our free health care.

 

just drive the car normal, drive it so its smooth and not jerky. revmatch also, wit hthe engine reving faster than the speed of hte transmission is turning over, it will wear the clutch out faster

 

set fire to it

Take two sandpaper and rub against each other. That's how clutch works similarly. The more you rub, the more you wear it out. The more you drive, the more your clutch wears out. The life of the clutch depends on the driver.
