Ways of burning out clutch

[bitlord]

I was wondering what are some common ways to burn a clutch and how to get the most life out of it.

exsesive slipping wears out clutchs in a hurry. dont slip the clutch to hold you on a grade, use the brakes. learn to rpm match when downshifting so the clutch dosn't slip as you engage it bringing the rpm up. inspect for oil in the flywheel/clutch area and fix the leak if you find oil in there.

my favourite and personally consider to be the number one way to get best life out of clutch, dont let your wife drive it *L* exuse me while I hide now

To burn the clutch engage the clutch halfway and start pushing the gas petal, that or you can keep stalling.

Also if you have a new clutch, don't tear into it for a while so that it can break in correctly. I don't exactly know how many miles it takes to break in but don't put a huge load on it for at least a few weeks

lol, don't be a noob and leave the car in first with the clutch in at stop lights/signs.

Well I find a smooth 1st to 2nd takes some slipping, kinda like neutral to 1st. But yeah, practice that rev matched down shift every day, it's nice when you hit it perfectly. Do you guys not slip from 1st to 2nd?

It's four to five hundred miles, I just bought the Exedy clutch and it says that but i couldnt get past 300!

I'm sure most wouldn't do this since it takes quite a bit of effort to keep the clutch depressed while waiting at a stop light.

How does this help burn out a clutch though?

Uhhh no? Unless you got some stage 5 clutchmasters then maybe. BUt OEM no. It doesnt burn out the clutch as much it actually does more damange to the throwout bearing and pressure plate. But if you wanna fuck it up quick as someone said dont full disengage and give it full gas. Bad ass stuff and you get that lovely oh so burning clutch smell.

best way to burn ur clutch....is let ur friends drive ur car...

how to prolong the clutch...try to avoid "riding the clutch," reduce the amount of time that you are actually slipping the clutch when engaging, you can ensure this by shifting at low rpm's or rev matching when shifting (upshifts or downshifts).

or u can get a kevlar clutch which is more forgiving and won't get polished as easily.

Carbons dont like to give out easy haha. They more heat you give them the more they grip crazy haha. But thats the reason why they cost like 900+ for a good carbon system
