Default Dropping the clutch at 5000rpm

Ok, heres my problem, the other day i was at some huge parking lot, and im like hell, lets do a burnout ( first time ) i rev it up to 5k and drop the clutch, nothing happens, no wheelspin or nothing. It feels like im slowing lettting it go , even though im really dropping it. My input shaft bearing was broken before i even did the burnout, and my tires are on the wrong way, could these 2 things be the problem?

i definately don't think putting your tires on the wrong way made your car feel like that, so hopefully you can eliminate that alternative

Tyres won't matter, did you smell the clutch?

*sigh*

you burned the **** out of your clutch. what you felt was the clutch not releasing because its a piece of **** stock clutch. now its a piece of **** stock clutch that needs to be repalced.

Well I aint sure if your clutch is complety fried. Your troubleshooting abilities however might be a little doped up.

Once for the hell of it in my Dx I revved it up and dropped the clutch and slowly drove off. I was like what the heck? Anyways Honda cars are known for over-enginering and I think its just a safety feature for stupid moves.

I drove that car on four more trips at a 1300 miles and one at 3300 miles. In addition to that I raced every event I could and still got 40 plus mpg on the Hwy.

so please enlighten me how they engineered somthing when you drop the clutch SOMETIMES it does that, and others it released?

he burned the clutch. may not be totally fried but he definatley started to glaze it with that amazingly brilliant manuver.
