Clutch Smell?

[sleek3]

Hey guys, well today i was letting my fiance drive the skyline (which was a big mistake...) but yea she had left teh handbrake on and tried to take off in first which it looked like she was trying to power lanch with boost lol, i have this clutch smell now which i now she did burn the clutch a little, but the car drives fine and changes perfectly and smoothly, i just got this smell every once in a while this only has happened in the last 5 hours so will the smell go away?????

if you can't make the clutch slip with a typical high-rev then full throttle change up through the gears, i wouldn't worry about it (assuming it didn't do that in the first place)

yep no clutch slip just smell, took it for a small hit just to see if the clutch will slip nothing so do you reckon the smell will go away over the next couple of times driving it????

yeah mate the smell will go eventually. you will always get a clutch/brake dust smell even if it was only slipped a little

[gfunkk]

yeah if its not slipping its not a problem

get into 5th on the highway and try boot it, if it revs but goes nowhere then yes your clutch is on its way out.

check the handbrake is still tight... park on a hill, switch the car off... pull up handbrake then let go of the brakes... see if you roll back...

hey mate

had a funny smell a couple of nights ago, didnt go away and i end up taking it out for a 2hour drive to gelong an back, didnt seem to have a problem.

a day later, my mechanic and i took it for a drive and it slipped all over the place, its now shot!

hope you dont have the same problem, just take it easy for a little while i reckon.

try and drive the car from a standstill in 4th if it stalls its fine, if it free revs you got slippage.
