I doubt this is normal.... (Clutch related)

[92VegasSHO]

Today I was teasing my friend in his Supra cause he swears that he can beat my SHO. Anyway I reved my engine(didn't look at the tach proboly around 5K) and the car was in gear but I had the clutch in. When I reved the car kinda moved foward like the clutch was engaging. What could this be?

Sorry of the explination is vauge.

Turn the car off.... Put your foot under the clutch, then pull up.

Thats pretty normal. Its just the incidental contact between the disc and the PP/Flywheel. My previous SHO did it - this one, I haven't ever revved that high sitting still because it doesn't have a quaife to make the burnout that would follow safe.

Mine did that even with a new (stock) clutch.

It's probably not good on the car to rev it high in neutral (Or in gear with clutch in) anyways..

Hey man, do yourself a favor, if you dont want to blow your clutch up, dont EVER REVV it high in gear, the clutch will blow up, and i have seen it done

if your gonna revv on people ALWAYS revv with it not in gear.....

Just my $0.02

clutch depressed = not in gear.

 

[SHOman24v]

clutch depressed as in not pushed in, or depressed as in it pushed in....?
Either way, you want want to revv high with the clutch in but not in gear or clutch in and in gear..., my friend took his to redline and yea boom

I've heard this, many times, from others. However, I use to do it ALL of time(up to the limiter) with no bad results...just the need to adjust the clutch cable. However, the PP's were new, from 2 different sets I've went through. The first showed minimal wear, milage unknown but more than 15k, while the other showed the same wear within 1k miles. Maybe the risk is to an already used clutch, 15k plus miles. I do believe it prematurely wears the PP fingers, though. I don't see what the difference is from shifting at high rpms, compared to high revving with the clutch in, except that it's for a longer period of time, which wears the PP fingers, faster. This is all IMO, could be wrong though.

clutch went or diff ?

This is what I think happened, in detail.

From personal experience, I had to adjust the clutch pedal every time I revved the motor in gear, clutch pushed in.

With that said...you revved the motor and the clutch cable lost it's recommended tension, therefor needs adjustment, and the TOB backed off a little, causing the clutch disc to engage "barely." Basically, riding the clutch badly, though not realizing.

pressure plate..... is it me or just my car, but i have NEVER had to adjust the pedal

Nope not just you, I've never heard the click of the adjuster for tightening up the cable. Well except for when I purposely let the cable loose and tightened it up by lifting the pedal.

I'd say revving without it in gear and moving is bad.

In neutral, clutch pedal IN you're revving the TOB and making it spin extra. Not to mention the pp and disc. As experienced above, when you rev high enough the PP lets the disc towards the flywheel which is also going to spin your tranny input shaft.

In neutral clutch pedal OUT you're still spinning the input shaft and I'm no tranny expert but it can't be real good to spin it in neutral long.

Just my opinion.
