Carbotic Material Clutch. Slipped For About 10 Seconds. Damage Done?

[joe blo]

hi mates. i let a friend drive my car tonight. he tried a burnout in 2nd gear on the brakes and my clutch slipped for about 10 seconds roughly. wheels were spinning but clutch was slipping away and ended up smelling burning clutch.

seems ok now but just wondering if it would have damaged it. its got billet flywheel also. seemed to engage good going up a hill dropping clutch in second abit later after that so i dunno.

just worried about stuff like that

Tell him next time to forget the brakes and just dump the clutch.

You would have put heat spots in the flywheel for sure, also taken some life out of the pads.

damage yes,

needs replacing? no, not unless it slips again after it cooled down properly.

just allow to machine the flywheel next time you replace the clutch

Don't let your mate drive your car. He sounds like a f*cken idiot

+1. Also, to quote Clarkson "[On the Enzo Ferrari] “I rang up Jay Kay, who’s got one, and said: “Can we borrow yours?” and he said, “Yeah, if I can borrow your daughter, because it amounts to the same thing.”"
