I have centerforce DF clutch with about 700 miles on it.

Now a days every time I drive my car wild or drag race I smell clutch burning smell. What is wrong ? Did I over tighten my firewall adj or too loose ?

Today after work I did 1st 2nd 3rd gear run with redline shifting and it was a nasty clutch smell. Last time I went to the track it clutch smell burning too but I thought I powershift from 1-2 and 3-4 so I was thinking cause of that but today I didn't powershift but smell burning.

Help with proper clutch cable adjusment Please

Thank in adavance

You shouldnt at all be smelling clutch....make sure your clutch deasnt grab RIGHT at the top...should have a little slack atleast. Just try backing off your firewall adjuster some (that should mean you screw it in...IE more slack)

Otherwise the clutch is just JUNK.
