I'd love to know where. My dad had the clutch replaced on his old Nissan truck for $700. I've been quoted about the same for mine.

Edit: BTW, the clutch on my MX-3 is on its dying breath (140,000mi). Its just recently started slipping. Navigating from gear to gear is getting difficult as well.

The increased pressure from the fluid being spun by the converter but no wheel movement can actually make the bell housing or wherever your TC is located "FLASH". Flash is basically the housing expanding due to the pressure. This will eventually crack or cause major fluid leaks around the main seals. (Saw this in last months fast fords and muscle mustangs) Not to mention the stress on the gears, clutch bands, brakes, driveshaft, engine, differential...

If you want a car that will peel out reliably, get a RWD car with some torque.

Uhhh? you're talking about a manual tranny right?

We're talking auto's.

An auto does not have one clutch, it has several clutch bands.

<< My 97 Silverado with a 350 Vortec has no problem peeling out. Occasionally I'll hold the brake to keep it in place and mash the gas then immediately let off the brake and it stays in place burning out, but I don't do this kind of teenager stuff often, tires are too expensive. >>




Ofcourse RWD trucks are easy to peel out. Alot of the weight is distributed to the front when you don't have considerable load in its bed. RWD trucks handle like an ass in snow too and some people even puts weights in the back to put more weight on rear wheels.

If you don't do it for too long, and have a tranny that is built for performance (ie heavy duty gears and bands, tranny cooler), it's not really that bad for it. In a FWD import though, I wouldn't try it. As Jerboy said, that same thing is done to test the stall speed of the torque converter. Unfortunately, on most cars the tires will spin because the brakes will lose grip before you can actually get to the stall speed.

Uhhh? Read the thread before making silly comments. Somebody recommended getting a car with a manual tranny to do burnouts. I said he'd tear up his clutch instead of the transmission doing high-rev burnouts in a manual car.

Hell, it handles like ass even in light rain in RWD! I make a turn and I'm feathing the throttle and I hear the rear tire spinning away. 4WD is my friend in these situations, it handles fine even in bad snow storms with the 4WD engaged, no weights in the bed required.

I do it sometimes in my Maxima.
Never for more than 2 seconds, and never above 1500RPM before releasing brake.
Also, I have a tranny cooler, and actually, I can peel without brake torquing, but it's still fun
It builds up heat in your torque converter and the rest of the tranny. Also, it's bad to make your car work hard when it's not moving, because there isn't much airflow to cool down the radiator. But my car is a 96 with 100K miles. I don't think I would do it on a new car.
