2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

    My clutch smells...most of the time

    I've read some threads that say the a performance clutch can not help, unless you are running a great horsepower under the hood. Well, you guys out there with those performance clutches. Do you smell your clutch when you push your car? and yes if you guys are going to say i have a bad clutch....not true, my clutch is only 2 years old and I have taken a peek it looks fine! but it smells

    Lord, grant me the serenity
    to accept the things I cannot change,
    the courage to change the things I can,
    and the wisdom to hide the bodies
    of those people I had to kill because they pissed me off.

        I dont know what you are talking about but you sure its your clutch not something else. Do you know how to drive a manual car? Those are things to consider. I am curious to how you took a "peek" at your clutch. You might have a worn clutch which could cause slipping.

        I dont know what you mean by "performance clutch." You can have a bad ass clutch, still dont know how to drive, and smoke a clutch. A stage 1 clutch is fine for bolt on motors and stock. The problem is dont cheap out.

                Well had to make sure some people have issues like that. Anyway which clutch did you replace it with. I have never smelled clutch during driving unless the clutch is slipping. That would indicate a worn clutch. You have options either Rear main seal is leaking oiling up the clutch letting it slip or the clutch has gotten hot before and the clutch disk is glazed. Another condition could be pressure plate is weak and its not holding the clutch disk tight allowing it to slip and generate the smell you are witnessing.

                    Exedy Stage 1. Heard great reviews on them and dont seem they have had a problem holding up to abuse. I run an XTD Stage 3 its ok but not the greatest. My next upgrade prob is gonna be an Exedy stage 1 or 2.

                        Stage 1 because it seems like your engine is pretty much stock if not has a few bolt ons. You never buy a clutch by hp that doesnt tell you anything. You buy it by tq capacity. Exedy Stage 1 usually is a sturdy clutch already for most applications.
