Clutch Smell

[hoony]

hey guys,

went on a cruise today and on one occasion my clutch slipped a tiny bit...

after that i could smell it for a little while...

how long will this last? (the smell)

the clutch and box feel fine... i just don't like the smell, girlfriend described the smell as, 'if you were stuck in a fart chamber'

seriously, it was f*cking stinky

anyone have any idea? cheers

It'll hang around for a bit and dissapear. Its not a good thing, but won't affect it to much. When it starts slipping constantly, thats when you know its screwed.

[hoony]

was only when i gave it hardcore juice Rhys...

has never slipped before so i'm assuming it won't be a problem... and even if it were to turn out to be one it wouldn't be a problem for a long long time isn't it?

[Niksmo]

yeah my car does it somtimes, smells for bout a minute goes away after that. gg

[br3ndan]

start saving for a new clutch... !

exedy ftw!

if u keep giving to it, it will give way pretty soon...

Drive normally and it should last for awhile...

=)

Sure you didnt just fart?

Otherwise smell took about 1 hour to go away in my mates car he went out and bought a new clutch the next day, then again it was a falcoon..

[hoony]

lol well i don't REALLY admit it when i fart, and usually when i do, the cars next to me don't really smell it bahahaha

nah is alright, the first time i really gave it super mega dooper looper sh*t and it feels alright...

only that one occasion and it feels perfectly fine, afterwards it was alright... it's just the smell i want to get rid of...

quite certain i won't be needing a new clutch anytime soon so no stress there

[-Dukes-]

It''ll be gone by tommorrow.

when my mum got a mafless tune on her old VY ss she went to do a take off and completely fckd the clutch. it stank for about a day.

edit: take off, not burnout...

[hoony]

lol no burnout...

felt awesome at the set of lights though, i'm certain there was no burnout haha

[Tomei_33]

^^ no burnout at the tyres but clutch was doing a nice burn out

[hoony]

don't jynx it Tommy lol

[lunjiaow]

lol. excuse my eyes. but i read crutch smell. I was thinking Andrew doesnt wash there?

Maybe it was the guy that was driving in front of you during the cruise?

I know i smelt heaps of hydrocarbons on the cruise today.

[hoony]

f*cking ROFL Vincent... i only wash there when i think i have to... JOKES! bahaha

nah, was serious after i gave it some stick, wasn't anyone else's car i'm 100% certain of that...

P.S: (i told my girlfriend your username and she absolutely lost it, then after about 5 minutes of laughing she told me what it meant)

LOL hell funny, i keep using that word now bahaha

[lunjiaow]

LOL!. niceeee.......maybe i should change it to something appropriate....

All good. maybe the clutch smell is when you gave it shit when launching the car super hard.

Grinding a bit of clutch. It happens.... i do it sometimes.

Nothing to worry about unless you have an old stock clutch in there. If so, then take it as an early warning sign and drive like nanna.

[hoony]

yeah it's a standard clutch...

car has done 120,000km's...

should be fine, drive like a nanna hey... *strokes chin like an old ancient chinese man with a long beard* (without the beard)

[NA_Goodness]

You have a stock clutch. They dont like hoon driving. Even I have an aftermarket clutch

[hoony]
