I don't usually post in these mind numbing threads. But I am still trying to wrap my head around side stepping the clutch at 5k on a wet surface and not being able to roast the tires down. I drag my car quite often and side step it at around 3.5k while preloading the car and struggle for traction off the line through almost the top of second. If I did the same at 5k I would get stupid amounts of wheel hop and just spanking the rear tires off the back. I don't care what tires you are running or how sticky they are, when you drop the clutch at 5k on a wet road and you smoke the clutch, that leads me to honestly believe, and don't take this the wrong way, but don't know how to drive a stick shift and have managed to damage it before doing this. I sit at the tree at the strip slipping the hell out of the clutch while waiting for the tree to drop. I am at 70k on the factory clutch still and it still holds strong, each and every power shift. Only clutch issue I have ran into was when I went in for a brake and clutch fluid change to GTR fluid and the clutch fluid had broken down to much and clogged either the master or slave and stopped draining half way through the change. Got both replaced.

Side-stepping the clutch pedal at 5 grand on a wet road and not spinning the tires. Tells me one thing. You're was in the wrong gear. Most likely 3rd, not 1st.
