did I Cook my Clutch?? Its slipping in 1st!!
Hi folks,you all have helped me tremendously before,for which i am most thankful.Now I have a dire need to know if I have permanantly Burnt my nice aftermarket ZOOM II clutch(249.00+279.00 installation).I have always relied on the sound of my moter for shift indication,the 89 truck not having any factory tach.WELLLLL,i just put in a brand new 1000.00 Sony/Linear Power stereo in the truck,and i was Blasting some heavy metal and doing some harmles city stret racing,when I didnt hear the usual cue for the upshift and i severly overloaded the clutch-i mean ,i was doing about 45 in first,i think,for awhile.Well, i didnt smell any burnt clutch,only some engine exhaust odor.People?-Did i irepparably fry my beloved Hi-perf clutch??Everything is the same except it SLIPS IN 1ST from a standstill launch now.Please dont say i need a new clutch!!(lets see,a new clutch,another 750.00+!!!).I am hanging on to the ghost of a hope i saw on aMzda MX-6 post where the guy botched a launch and missed a gear,and the people were saying 6the plate was glazed and that he only needed to drive the vehicle normally for a few hundred miles to remove the GLAZING on the face??? Thats the best case scenario,which normally never happens to me-Okay,give it tpo me staright,do i start planning for a new hi-perf clutch(750.00).One things for sure-i wil never street raceagain without a TACH!!!!!!
