AliveBoy Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 At the weekend I went drifting in Holland, awesome fun! At the weekend I blew my clutch up... not so much fun! Can anyone internet diagnose with me and help me work out what could potentially be broken? I was accelerating, went to change gear and nothing happened, as in, put the gear stick into 4th let the clutch out, put my foot on the accelerator and the revs went up and nothing else happened. I can start the car "in gear" without the clutch in and it doesn't lurch forwards, it just STINKS of clutch. Still got plenty of clutch fluid too so it's not a loss of that. All of the shafts are intact and the diff feels fine, so I'd guess it's either the gearbox or the clutch, pretty sure it's the clutch though, just depends on what else I've ruined. Can anyone help? I know I haven't provided a lot of info, but it's all I have Before she died shot below to try and feel a bit better about it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT Driver Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Were you in Zandvoort for the Japfest? Not sure how much damage you've done, but if the car is not moving engaged in 1st then as a start the entire clutch friction surface has been demolished!

The Chubby Ninja Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Sounds awful. Hopefully it's just the clutch and not the gearbox aswell. At first I thought you'd snapped the drive shaft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other possibility is the primary shaft snapped but I doubt it is that. Hope you get it sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
