clutch problem diagnosed

[87GT 306]

All I really have to say is wow. I literally cooked my spec 1 . At this point the culprit seems to be the adjustable cable wasnt adjusted correctly. When I did a burnout, the tires werent spinning. The clutch was smoking and not grabbing so I think its safe to say I cooked it, and it wasnt adjusted so the tension was completely forced on the flywheel. This happen to any of you guys?

If you had freeplay in the cable (at the fork), then a bad PP diaphram is about all I can think of that would cause the clutch to slip (other than simply overpowering it).

Glad to hear you got it fixed!

well its one of the double adjustable ones. I have an adj. firewall and the cable itself at the fork is adjustable. At the fork it was threaded almost all the way down the threads(righty tighty) leading us to believe the thing wasnt always fully engaged when i let off the clutch pedal.
