im not sure if my clutch is going, occassionally when i pull away im left with a nasty smell, that a friend identified as a burning clutch? does this mean it might be on its way out? it was changed at around 45k and im now just over 65k, i thought a clutch might last a little longer than that? im starting to get paranoid, as it seems it judders a lot more now , and getting rolling seems to be a challenge?

i've been reading PPC (practical performance car mag)almost every other month, and it seems that people are fond of fast road clutches when i read their spec? are these any good? will it just be the clutch i'd have to buy or are there other components? anyone know the advantages/disadvantages and where to get one?
thanks in advance

If you smell the clutch - you are releasing it too slow with too much revs = you are burning the clutch by your self. Stop making the wheels spin all the time

What the juddering goes - the clutch has wrapped it self a bit.

Get the car to cca. 60km/h, switch to 5 gear and press the gas pedal to the floor - if the revs jump up fast - the clutch is slipping.

You can tell if the clutch is slipping cus it just revs high and you dont get anywhere

or put it in 5th with handbrake on and take foot off clutch and rev if it stalls its ok if not its ready for out!
