Clutch Questions
Okay I' have been driving on my tranny swap for about 2500 miles now and I have a couple questions that maybe you guys can help me with.
1. I notice that the car has a hard time pulling at WOT past 5000 rpms only when it's cold. Could this be the clutch slipping? Maybe due to poor quality clutch?
2. I also notice a slight burning or hot smell coming from under the car near my feet and near the firewall, but only after I have the car warmed up and have driven at least 5 miles. Typically I drive no more than 10 miles per trip and most of it is freeway, less than average amount of shifting. Could this be due to poor quality clutch disc? Is this a sign that my clutch is wearing poorly?
I bought a cheap F1 stage 1 street cltuch kit from ebay just to get the car running when I did the swap. I'm planning on swapping in a better clutch kit later on but, I'm curious as to how long this clutch will last me? I don't race with it and I do minimal spirited driving. And the car doesn't miss gears (unless I'm just being stupid) or fall out of gear once engaged, and the pedal still feels nice and smooth, good travel and return.
Any info you guys have will help!!
Thanks.
