smoke from clutch

[deathrow23]

how bad is it when my clutch was burnt,,,my dumba$$ let my friend drive my car,,first thing she didnt let the e brake down,,then burnt my clutch trying to go into reverse,,smoke was coming out of the hood for a good 10 seconds or so...how many months of normal driving did that take away on the life of the clutch...p.s..dont let anybody drive your $hit

I experienced the same thing few weeks ago. I was about to start the Celica to cross a bump on a 35-degree slope. I stepped on the gas pedal quite heavily (around 3k rpm) but because of the god damn bump the car was moving very slowly. After I had crossed the bump I smelt some burnt smoke.

Is it common for manual cars ?? Or it just happens to Celica ?

it'll happento any manual if u drive it like that.
i think the celica take a bit less to make it smell though, just mmy opinion

[erok]

platnm is correct.
