Clutch slipping (?)

[Timmy G]

hey,

when i take off, i think i am feeling the clutch slipping..

if i take off between 1,000-1,500 rpm i feel it, but if i take off at 2,000+ it's fine (and 2,500+ it makes this screeching sound and i smell rubber )

does this sound like a clutch that is on its way out?

One way to check your clutch;

Find a flat bit of road and start off in 3rd giving it a little bit of stick. If the clutch is slipping it'll be apparent straight away. If not, you'll stall.

CAUTION - your car may blow up and I'm not responsible.

lol @ red's response, can u smell a burning smell, its like a yucky odour. its natural for a clutch to slip sumtimes, mines slipped 3 times but it has no problems, its just the wrong technique of lifting ur left foot really. It sounds like urs is ok though

oh okay, mine has only done it like a few times.

it was actually feeling really good the next couple of days. i haven't felt it slip again since i posted that thread so maybe i was just driving crap

*edit oops this is Timmy G btw

wHYYY didnt i read this post earlier!?!?!?!!

i drive a 33 GTS with air filter... 3' exhaust etc...and i thought the clutch was slipping after i rode it one time by accident...and there was e smell but the car drove normally...

i think it was e same as one of yrs...but then being a paranoid dude...and not wanting the car to not work just as i was heading to exams( exam wk in uni) ... i changed to an exedy brass button clutch good for 450hp...

grips like a b*tch now and is hard as to drive...
