I think so too, I had a friend who had a civic with 230k on it, I had to redline it to get the thing moving from stop.... the clutch on that car was never changed... lol.

11K on a raced turbo clutch even if its not all the way blown its hurtin and close to being shot, change it out, its hurtin your cars performance either way so get a enw one.

so you would most likely say its only a clutch problem right? because my brother when driving it he got outside of the car and noticed smoke coming from the transmission area so u think its the clutch right?

it could be a main seal and its leaking oil into the clutch and thats why its slipping so bad. Either that or hes frying the clutch so bad its smoking. Take it apart and find out
