Last night some friends wanted me to race a 94 Civic DX coupe. I accepted cause i knew i would lay the smack down on it. But in the process of driving we came to a light before getting to the destination where we would race. At the light i figure i would pass him on the green. Usually i launch at 4500rpms,but instead i launched at 4k. When i did the car rolled about 1ft, when i threw it in second the rpms rose like i was driving but the car was giong no where same in third then it puttered and rolled into the gas station that was right there. I burnt the living hell out of my clutch. I know it couldn't handle because the clutch was rebuilt(stock). I never had the happen ever. What did i do exactly? The car is running fine but not as good as before. Off the line it would barley roll but when i hit 2nd i pulled 2 car lengths on the DX. But it still isn't pulling like it was before. h:

 

are you sure you blew the clutch? my friend and i were pulling out of a parking lot and when he let off the clutch we heard a "POW" and the tranny wouldnt shift into any gears..he ended up with a blown differential. did you hear anything like a bang when this hapened?

 

Well if you are still able to engage the clutch then you didn't shadder it. but it may have been slipping really bad when you went to engauge it & got extremly hot & it's possible that part of it could have broken... ?? whats the status of the car now & hows it acting?

 

that sucks, welcome to my world. I killed 4 trannys in my 00 ex before i totalled her...well 2 of them were my friends driving and one was a bad internal part on a used tranny. Good thing you can get them for 100 bucks all day long. I was talking to my uncle and he mentioned his M3 was 1200 dollars to get a new tranny UNDER extended warranty.

 

Was you clutch slipping before you did this? It seems that even there would be signs that your clutch was going to give out...

 

slipping clutch, i get it all the time

 

u probably just glazed your clutch LOL happens when it slips a lot and gets hot and then it loses its gripping ability

 

clutch slips perioducally.....parents spend $450 about a year to rebuild it...don't matter now......just got a $5k loan and getting new paint and b18c

 

Mine's $1200 new, but that's if i pay it out of my pocket.
