So I let my dad drive the car for the first time today.. Had my mom and aunt in the back seat, so it was quite the family affair.

Well, we hit a straight away (unpopulated highway connector) and my dad decided to see how well it accelerated. We were doing like 20mph when he started to accel hard. BUT, at one point (~60mph?), as the speed climbed and he shifted, the engine would rev but the car would only accel slowly. So he shifted up again and went on the accel and still nothing but clutch slippage. To make a long story short at the next traffic light the car REEKED ! Oh well, you can always buy a new clutch, but your dad doesnt get to drive a 400hp sedan every day.. hehe.. Later, when he ran into the store to buy something, I showed my mom and aunt how its SUPPOSED to be done Hehe

Thought I would share :P

So the problem was only temporary?

you need to speedshift with this car. tell your dad that.

I sure as hell hope so.. he probably took thousands of miles off the clutch but it seems to be oknow

I smoked mine a few times and realy bad at a DE. It seems fine now and the smell goes away.

How long did the it go on and what caused(Dad's foot?) the clutch to slip?

Many here get upset when a leaf falls on their car. You're right, you can always get a new clutch but not a new Dad.

Keep thinking that way and you'll lead a long, happy life.

That's very good news for all of us. A certain other brand's clutch would not come back after that.

It was probably a good 8-10 secs of slip.. it wasn't subtle..

He must have been caught up in the moment...



or did the pedal stick?
