Re: whats a dropped clutch?

Pick up your clutch.
Now let go. You dropped your clutch *rimshot*

Okay, but seriously... When you rev up your engine with the clutch engaged, then release the clutch quickly with your tach up, you've dropped your clutch. Most of do a slow release from a red light- you balance your clutch and gas to get a good launch. When you've dropped your clutch, you've just basically gone to 2k and let go of the clutch in a split second.

Not the best thing for your car, which is why I only do it on Fords.

It's also referred to as "dumping the clutch"

A "dropped tranny" would mean that your transmission died, could this mean the same thing for the clutch also?
