Clutch Problems On A Skyline

[sloutch]

Hi guys,

i'm experiencing some clutch slips at about 6,000rpms. I'm able to smell it after i stop the car.

Does that mean that i have to change the clutch immediately or it'll be ok to hold up if i drive carefully (Eg, Revving below 5000rpm)?

Does driving with a clutch like this damage my other internal components?

Thanks

Sounds like mine. It slips up higher but seems to be ok with normal driving. I ended up just buying an Exedy clutch off the forums and ill put it in when i have some spare dosh.

Do you smell the stinking clutch smell as well? At the moment the highest i'll go is 5,000 rpm before i change gear and i do that very very seldom. How long can my clutch 'survive' before it dies out? Anyone?

It should last for a while still depending on how you drive.

My clutch started slipping about 2 months ago and it still

grips fine for normal driving. My mate had his clutch start

slipping about 8 months ago and he just drives it normally

and the clutch is still working.

And yes if you rev the engine and the clutch is slipping you can smell the clutch burning

The flywheel, if you intend to use the same fly when you put a new clutch in machine the flywheel as long as its not worn a lot, it should be ok.

get a new clutch. it will start slipping really hard before you know it.
