Clutch burn !!!!!!
Afternoon guys,
Here goes, was having a race with my mate earlier and he said he noticed smoke coming from underneath my car. Inside the car stunk of clutch burning and thats what he said he could smell as well.
My problem is, the clutch is an AP 6 paddle racing clutch kit and its almost brand new. My car is 4x4 saff with about 420-440 bhp.
Do i need a new clutch?????? HELP
