ok im almost positive i didnt burn my clutch... but... i have 1100 miles on my 05 6MT and when i push in the clutch i can "feel" a roughness. is this normal??

also, how do know if i need a new clutch?

 

You Burnt it!

 

stf university...

 

when you burn the clutch it smells. i burned my clutch today. smelled like ***. i dont' think you're supposed to feel a roughness when you push in the clutch.

 

lemme rephrase the question... how do i know i am supposed to REPLACE the clutch?

 

When you are releasing the clutch and pressign the gas and the clutch doesnt grab into gear, it just keeps on revving LOL

 

isnt there some sort of warning sound, like for the brakes when the pads are running low??

 

When I had a 92 celica I noticed that when I would push in the clutch all the way and try to put it into gear, sometimes it wouldn't go and the "give" point in the clutch was all the way to the ground. The only thing i could do was to stall the car and start all over. The ceclia had 120k miles and I ended up getting rid of it, so I don't know if it was the clutch that needed replaced, but I think it was.

I was also told before, but this could be to test your transmission, if you put it in 6th gear at like 20mph and floor it and the rpms rise but the car isn't moving much more, then you need a new one.........but I'm not sure if that has to do with the clutch or not.

Also, I highly doubt you need a new clutch at 1100 miles, maybe its just in your head.

 

Roughness as in tiny rubbing feeling?
Yeah, i have that too. Comes and goes.

Sometimes it's like silk, sometimes it's like rubber rubbing on rubber.

Not saying it's normal, but i have it too.
Doesn't mean you need a new clutch, could be the bushings on the pedal need oiling/greasing.

I took it into one dealer (Santa Monica) but the guys working there had no clue what they were doing.

In a single word description: inept

These are the same guys that kept telling me Infiniti and Nissan are COMPLETELY different. Go figure.

 

ok so im STILL getting this weird feeling n my clutch...

when the car is in neutral, there is the normal clutch feeling with NO friction/ resistance, but when im actually driving theres this scratchy/ sandy resistance thats buggin the he!! outta me... please note: this is my first stick-shift car!

is there something wrong, or is this normal??

 

maybe ur clutch needs to break in a little more since u only got 1100 miles. once u drive it hard, it'll probably go away.

 

Take it to the dealer LOL !! Your cars brand new man
