White smoke... from clutch?
Tru ballers I went autoxing this weekend and at a hard turn I downshifted to first going about 30 mph. My clutch seeemd to have gotten stuck or somethign whiel i was gassing teh crap out of my poor fc all of a sudden i smell that signature sound of butrned clutch and saw white smoke coming from the dash... teh smell lsted about 2 hours... or so it was horrible... then right after that i dorifted one turn and the car stalled... then i strate dit back up now teh idle is kinda shakky. what hppened i didnt hear apex pop.. maybe an oil seal or coolant seal?

I'd start with the obvious: check your hydraulics, check compression, and most likely yank the tranny out to check out the clutch...
Let us know how you make out.

If you down shift, do you just let the clutch fly??? Or do you "reverse" fan it?? In other words allow the rpm to stay down until the speed bleeds off and you can let the clutch go all the way out. I usually hold some pressure on the clutch until the RPMs reach acceptable levels b4 letting the clutch fly.

I would check the hydraulic's. I replaced the clutch on my car and I still had smoke. When I replace the clutch plate it didn't look that bad. I put in a new slave cylinder and replace hose. bleed the system and the problem went away.

Well i revved teh **** out of it whiel shiftng into first... anyways it doenst smoke at all but i can still smell burned clutch from the engine bay. By hadraulics you guys mean just the slave and master cylinders? or mechanical crap with in the tranny? Like i sai dis not slipping either it just feels slower for some reason.

by hydraulics, we meant the master/slave cylinder and supporting lines.. You may want to check your tranny fluid level, also, since yo u're going to be under there anyway.. it's possible you overfilled it last time you put fluid in, and it caused a leak on the tranny side of things....
Where is the application form to become a "TRu rotary playaz"?

I just want to use the term Truballers at the office!! The other honkeys would think I'm "phat" for using such a term. right now they just think I'm fat.
In the meeting room discussing market penetration and I pop off "now, you truballers will understand this concept of product identification......." Ok maybe not at the office.
