clutch damages

CyFi · 03-06-2006, 12:21 AM

ok dont bash me, im just curious. If i were to rev up my 5sfe to like 6000 rpms and then put it in first and just drop the clutch, what would happen. i know it is bad, and no i am not going to do it, but what damages would i cause. i hace 167000 miles on it.

Transaxle failure is likely if the clutch even grabs.

clutch will just burn up.

if everything is fine, itll just burn out but it isnt good on your car. i have a spec stage 3 and have dumped the clutch a few times around 5500 and the only thing thats happened is 2 bolts came out of my front trans mount. my car also has 155000 miles

also is there a way without removeing the tranny to determine the wear on my clutch and how much life it has left?

No

And you put a lot of strain on your engine, drivetrain when you do that drop clutchy thing

Remeber...something has to give...if its not your tires...then something else is
