I just installed a skunk2 short shifter with es bushings and everytime i drive fast (shift right before redline) and then cruise normal, i smell something burning comming through the air vents? What could it be? Maybe i'm just losing it... or is it the short shifter burning my tranny? maybe its the clutch? help!

 

damn your **** is fucken toast this happened to my friends brother right after skunk2 short shifter install.. he had to get a new tranny and clutch.

...haha na lol i dont think u should be driving to tuff on the new shifter till everything settles in.. i dont know what this has to do with a burning smell but it might as well be the way ur breaking it in. Or breaking it down

Are you serious about your friend's bro?? i'm scared now..

 

i think he was playing. . . .but if its burning. . .it still may be your clutch. . . dont' know if its related though. . .could just be a coincidence

 

Did you change the bushings with the short shifter?

did the smell come after you upgraded the shifter?

 

yes i did, and yes it did, but it only occurs when i like quick shift and ****..

 

give it time to settle it should be fine

 

could be the exhaust heating up real quick as a result of taking it to redline and smoking the new bushings.

But then again, i've never installed a short shifter before, just a thought.

Sounds like your buring your clutch away if it only happens when you shift quick ....

i think so too, but i don't know it.... How can i avoid this?

 

Buy a new clutch man ....Id do it for your for 50 bux plus parts but your not near

 

yea, if you were closer damn. So there's no really way to avoid this, without gettin a new clutch???

 

Not really, You can pick up a act street disk for like 99 $ and just get someone to do it for you ...Might as welll get your flywheel resurfaced though and a new rear main seal while you at it

sounds good, will the clutch feel the same or a lot stiffer???? thanks

 

it will feel the exact same with your stock presure plate just grab alot better

 

so it wont burn my clutch? like the stock one?

 

your clutch is actually burning ..but no it will out last your stock one for quite sometime

i see, i think i'll use the stock clutch till i can't use it no more. It still feels as good as when i bought it.
