a just had a half hour long snow drift session. i wasnt doing much with the clutch though. did a kick twice and everything else was just reving to about 4k in second (clutch out). at the end of the half hour i got out and i could smell clutch. after i got back home i could still smell some. i have an ACT clutch, is this normal for so little punishment? ---

It’s completely normal and happens all the time. Don’t worry about it. ---

you will espicially notice it if this is the first time you raped your clutch, the more you do it the less the smell. ---

EDIT by R-240sX: i didn’t spin out because i never stopped moving i spun around 180 then went straight very slowly, well if you look at my second one its perfect. … and you spun out on yours too 1st time, … homo. why dont you go drive your automatic 240 some more. ---
