BMW320i Neutral Newbie January 11, 2006 Share January 11, 2006 Biting point higher than before. When releasing clutch acceleration is not constant and lethargic. Your driving habit will determine when you have to change your clutch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSi Neutral Newbie January 11, 2006 Share January 11, 2006 When you burn your clutch, its really obvious and you'll know something is very wrong. 1st you'll see lots of white smoke flooding into the vehicles cabin as well as from the hood. The smoke comes from the burnt clutch in your transmission block. It'll stink really bad, everyone around you will know something's wrong. When you're in gear, your rev increase but you're not moving or you you're moving very slowly. When you push your rev up you see white smoke. The normal clutch consist of the pressure plate and the clutch disk. You can opt to go with a stiff pressure plate, you'll feel this when driving. Your clutch paddle will be stiffer. For your clutch disk, you have the options of full face (full round disk) 6 puck (6 finger plate) 4 puck (4 fingers) or 3 puck(3 fingers). The less puck the more race application, and the harsher the clutch engagement. These will bite very well, but your car will jerk hard no matter how you drive. For low hp street driving, I suggest you go with a race full face clutch, and a semi race pressure plate. I love how mine feels with this setup. Also, while you are doing a clutch job, you should also change your flywheel to a light weight one, one of the best thing I did. Dont go too light, not less than 10lb or driving will take some getting used to. I lighter flywheel will allow you to rev up faster, but it also means your rev drops faster too. You get a much more responsive throttle, but you lose the ability to engine brake effectively. This becomes more obvious the lighter you go. There's some getting used to, like you got to rev alittle higher when you get off the light, rev even higher when on a slope ...... nothing a few hours driving wont fix. Change to a good transmission fluid. Get a short shifter and polyutherine shifter bushings. I'm sure you'll love it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMW320i Neutral Newbie January 12, 2006 Share January 12, 2006 I hope the race full face is not a heavy duty one otherwise, you'll be shopping for a new gearbox. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nhrisuzu 1st Gear January 12, 2006 Share January 12, 2006 when u experience got rev but no speed... when engine is idling or when u stationary.. ur engine will stink... greater extent will be white smoke...

BlueSi Neutral Newbie January 12, 2006 Share January 12, 2006 (edited) Full face race clutch plates are usually not for high hp applications. Probably good up to 250hp. Stock tranny should be able to handle 250. If you're making in excess of 350hp, then you gotta drive conservatively. Have a friend broke 2nd gear on his super charged S2K tunned to slightly above 350hp @ wheel. Thats from hard launch shifting. The strength of your tranny depends on what your car's stock power. Jap cars usually have parts rated to handle power slightly more than stock. US and European domestic cars usually have alot stronger parts. If you're making so much power that you run the risk of breaking gears, its also a good idea to get beefier axals and stiffer motor mount bushings as well.

BMW320i Neutral Newbie January 12, 2006 Share January 12, 2006 In that case gotta becareful on launch yeah. Stock clutches are also capable of breaking gearboxes. Depends on driver's habit. Broke 2nd gear ? For that kinda power to weight ratio he's probably launching from 2nd gear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrariz Neutral Newbie January 12, 2006 Author Share January 12, 2006 hahahah.. then i think i need to change liao got white smoke coming out of my hood when idling at first i thot its because of raining ..the water turn to steam or something Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkchong Neutral Newbie January 12, 2006 Share January 12, 2006 One simple way to test whether the clutch plate required to change is that pull your handbrake up. Fully depress your clutch. Then you engage to third gear and hold it there. Step on the acc. pedal until about 2.5K to 3K rpm. Then you slowly release the clutch pedal to the bitting point. If the engine immediately cut-off, your clucth plate is still useable. If not, better to have a check with your workshop.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imuya Clutched January 12, 2006 Share January 12, 2006 hmm, the white smoke got smell? If it's odourless then it probably is steam ma Cos i remember your bonnet ain't exactly stock Plus these few days raining.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSi Neutral Newbie January 12, 2006 Share January 12, 2006 The S2k had a race clutch off course! the stock one wont last a day with that kinda power (Honda clutch ) And yeah, 1st gear wasn't floored (will just burn rubber), 2nd got it all and died Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustyz 5th Gear January 12, 2006 Share January 12, 2006 Does this mean I have to change my clutch??? When I changing gear..Usually changing from 2 to 3..when change to gear 3 Already!! The power still feel like still at gear 2..but after a while it will sudden outbust power(My car no tubro hor)....as if it took some ttime for the fuel to flow in...Or is it the fuel injector problem.

BMW320i Neutral Newbie January 13, 2006 Share January 13, 2006 Nothing to do with Injectors or which fueling components you think it is. A common way of spotting worn out clutch depending on driver's habit is when you go from gear 1 to 2 as you normally would, with gear 2 fully engaged, as you depress the accelerator, RPM increases a little prior dropping down and continue to rise.

Apollo 1st Gear January 13, 2006 Share January 13, 2006 basic qn: when the last time u serviced ur car? what engine oil you used? some oil may give you negative boost and tat can cause lagging. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
