I just got my stage III xtd clutch in a few weeks ago and i havn't even been beating it down that hard, maybe shifting at 6000 rpms once or twice a day and i launch at 3000 rpms, why does it smell like my clutch is burning??? just started doing ironicly right after my rotor, brake and oil change...

 

how many miles have u put on it so far? 6000rpm once or twice a day...ur not even suppose to go once or twice during the break in. and launching at 3000...hopefully it's not during the break in period.

 

i already but like almost 1,000 on it...

 

Give me your clutch.

I'll take care of it for you.

Then don't complain, or drive like a dick if you can't afford it.

 

since you already broke it in, you can shift at whereever.. clutch doesnt smell burn unless your dropping clutch at redline or **** while racing.. its probly soemthing with your brakes

 

the noob is probably riding the clutch.

 

i love all the mean ***** on here....makes me feel like a nice person

 

YES!! I love people that think they know everything....someone asks a question to learn and stupid ***** have to make them feel like a nub...ok i have been working on cars for about ummmm 2 months...how the expletive do you learn dumbass? OH thats right you ask questions and teach yourself... welll i guess i'll go teach myself cuz this site is worthless becasue of all the smartasses...

 

1000 highway or city? Anyways, people act like dicks because they hate ricers or people who street race and cause lawmakers to act hard and crack down on enthusiasts who actually mod their car and use it on the track.

My advice dont launch so hard on the street and you wont get that burnt smell. Inspect your brakes and your oil. Then come back and tell us what you see or smell

 

why are you laucnhing at 3k? theres no where in city driving where you need to launch at 3k

 

about 400 highway, I just changed the brakes a rotors, it smells sweet but sickning...some one told me it was my clutch burning. Smelt like it was from when i had my 15 yr old oem one in and my friend tried to burn out and jut burnt the clutch. I launch at 3k when i "race" but that is not often.

that means like holding with clutch at hill or holding clutch for few more sec when enguages??

 

Inspect your brakes like others have said. And next time you get a clutch try and give it a long break in period without the 6k shifts.

 

maybe you adjusted it wrong and its not disengaging 100% when you press the pedal in...

 

check your brakes...one might be seized or stuck, i had a weird clutch burning smeel and i could figure out what it was...and ome to find out it was one of my rear calipers got stuck and fried the fluid and my brakes went out. i flushed the system and bleed the system and alls better.

 

i don't think it is the brakes...it smelt like it today after getting out of rush hour...the radiator is going crzy too, it was on for like 5 min after i got home but it didn't say my engine was over heating?

 

bumb

riding the clutch is bad, it wears the disc fast. i dont ride mine and i get smooth engagements all the time....maybe you need alil more practice?lol the only time i feather is when i race.

hahah.... i second the motion! i probably could use tha practice...lol but really tho i didnt kno that it wears the disc faster because i cant smell it burnin.... didnt think i was hurting it, but look ma i learned something new today!

 

think of it like brake pads. well a clutch wears regardless, they are a wear part...when you smeel it means that you are heating it up and it can glaze.

 

Nah man that clutch aint worth it. I had that same clutch in my R and it lasted me 1600 miles. When I pulled down my tranny for the 2nd time. It was fallen apart, 20 pieces fell to the floor. That XTD is a pos. I do not recommend.
