Default My Clutch Is Shot!

Ok so yesterday after getting my fuel pump installed, I was going up a slight hill in 5th gear doing 50mph. I gave it gas to make it up the hill and my rpm's went way up but the car didn't go any faster. After a couple seconds of this I could smell something burning and then smoke started rolling out from under my console into the car! I ended up having to downshift to 3rd and ride 3rd gear all the way home doing 50mph so it would halfway stop slipping. So today I got in it to move it out of the driveway so dad could pull in the garage and well.... It's f***ed. I started it, put it in reverse and let out the clutch, and it didn't move at all. So I gave it gas til it got up to 4000 rpm's with the clutch all the way out and it barely moved. Same thing happened with all the other gears. It acts as though it's still in neutral. So I guess it's time for a new clutch eh? Haha

Were you trying to burn your tires like this guy did?

Because of the attached video, that was only a half serious question.

Did you see the look on his face when they told him that it wasn't the tires??

Lets just take a brief moment of silence for that tard's failure............... Ok I think that was enough!

It looks like the idiot left the traction control on.

And nice "friends" for just standing by while he toasted the clutch.
