Clutch Longevity
 
Hey guys, i have a stock clutch with 104,500 miles on it, last night i attempted a burnout but instead of burning my tires a burnt my clutch, smoke and all, one would have thought it was tire smoke from a distance! How much life do i have left in my clutch ya think. I drove it after and theres no slipping yet

hahaha my uncle did this a few times!!! he had an 03 and couldnt burnout with his 35"s. The stock cluthc had 40k on it. If it aint slipping your fine, i know my uncle drove his like that for another 10k, but he had a fourwheeler accident that left him with one leg... he had to sell his truck

Does it slip when you floor the go pedal...:D

Ya, you may have only glazed it. If so, the glaze will eventually wear off, just dont try that no more. Or, if you wanna do a burnout, get a rolling start, floor it, then hit the brakes, since the tires are already moving and clutch is engaged, the rear brakes should slip easier. Better yet, dont do burnouts lol
