Burnt the clutch

[koevi]

Hey guys,
Just wondering how bad is it when i burn my clutch? i was in high revs when i mis-shifted and somehow it burnt the clutch...was a pretty bad smell. Everything is okay but did it damage the clutch alot? or can clutches withstand alot?

Thanks

it naturally incvreases wear and tear,
clutch , naturally has wear and tear, and burning is just increasing the tear, faster obviously,
just try not to do it again!@

Its like a brake pad.

The harder you brake. The less life itll have.
Except a clutch will last longer because itll only ever slip every now and again.

Burning a clutch once wont do much harm.
Worse youll do is warp the surface of the pressure plate and fly wheel.
Which only cause shudder.

In a hydraulic type clutch system. MOST of the time. Youd rarely get clutch slip.
Unless its been worn to shits.

Dont worry about it. Doing burnouts and flat shifting does more damage to the clutch than mis shifting at a high rev.

Nothing to do with slipping clutches.
Not enough clamping pressure, excessive heat on organic clutches, low clutch pad.
They are some reasons your clutch will slip.

To the op, you'll be fine.
You'll have more wear from one drag racing pass.

I disagree with everyone. If you burn an organic clutch to the point which you can tell from the smell. It won't be the same for a while. All surfaces become polished/glazed and will give less grip. Its not to say its not going to work, but it won't have the same griping/engaging power it had before. Depending on the application, dumping from gear to gear you might notice it slip, but normal driving you won't notice anything at all.

This is why I said "excessive heat on organic clutches".
Another reason I bought a ceramic clutch also.

I agree with Dean here
