I was out goofing off in the goat today. Me and a friend (2002 or so impreza WRX) were racing from light to light on the way out of work since there were no cars around. I am not sure what happened but my clutch got really hot. I could definetely smell it burning. :bomb: I think I accidently tried launching in 3rd or else something else was wrong because when i released the clutch and gave it gas, not much happened. ie: no great slingshot launch like I am used to. I quickly released the throttle and shifted to neutral and then to first. It took off fine after that. Like I said I think I just had it in third (90% sure) I continued racing and did a few more launches after that. Well after a while the smell went away and the car is still driving fine My only worry is: how much abuse like that can this thing take? is there any way to know if I did any real damage? I don't know enough about clutches and I am a little worried I may have hurt my car. Can anyone offer some advice? I know there are a lot of knowledgeable folks on this board, let me hear your $.02
