okay so today i decided to give 2step a try, follow the directions of a few comments i read in this forum
so basically clutch in, gas in, rev limiter kicks in at 5.5k rpm and then let go of the clutch (slipping?) not too fast nor too slow, the rpms drops to like 3k and then it goes smooth. Is that what it suppose to happen? hopefully.
okay after that i smell burnt clutch not a lot but enough to smell it.
now before i get to the point that i completely need to change my clutch and all that, i would like to know which set be good for someone like me:
No mods yet, just maybe launch it once or twice in like 3 months?, and daily drive car.
i might start to lean towards drag race events but i doubt it.
and for me, i don't really know much about cars, still learning, so flywheel? clutch kit? what should i get? I been reading that Exedy is good, but then others say ACT is not as bad, but cheaper? someone please teach me more about this stuff, i tried looking through the forum but god I'm really bad at it lol
also slippage on a clutch, what exactly does that mean. How does it feel when you regularly drive, i mean today i burnt my clutch but how bad? i have no idea, i would like to know when i should really change a clutch before i get stuck in the middle of the road lol
i'll add more once i remember what i was going to ask, and sorry for all this novice questions. the X is my first car and anything before that was my parents' SUV or mini van o.o
Edit: How much should i expect to spend over all? clutch kit, flywheel, installation? (estimates would be good enough)
