Default Well,clutch is definately slipping !!

decided to do a full throttle launch from traffic lights, launched it, went off, hit the limiter and the smell of the clutch was unreal,felt some transmission loss too,as it moved,but hit the limiter very quick, not like my other scoob which just launched and went and smell free !!!

ah well,maybe the launch/clutch burn id it some good, cleaned the face of the clutch, I HOPE !!!

That was smart, why do people insist on doing a full throttle launch at lights, whats the point?

Now you have to buy a new clutch

na,had to fit one anyway, that was a test and a confirmation !!!

im not daft,know what im doing, a full throttle launch confirms 110% its fooked,slight slip is hard to detect in the city driving i do !

now i tested it and confirmed its foobard !
