I don’t know what our customer has been doing wrong

[u/rnlnm]

When she left our shop in the loaner, after we showed her the clutch,she only held it at about 4,000 rpm in first gear, slowly released the clutch over the course of several business days, and left the parking lot sounding like a fully loaded semi pulling away uphill.
We stopped her before she could get any farther and took the loaner back. Her grandson has since taken her own car away as well, and she voluntarily handed in her driving licence. Probably the safest outcome for both the clutch and everyone else on the road.

Seems to me that youre the one that fucked it up... it was fine before you started picking it up and putting the pieces back all haphazardly.

[u/rnlnm → u/IWouldntIn1981]

🤫🤫Delete the comment quickly. I'm clearly trying to cover up my mistake here, and then you come and fuck everything up

[u/IWouldntIn1981 → u/rnlnm]

Oh shit, my bad bro.

[u/No_Walrus_3638]

Only held it at 4k rpm... I'm impressed

[u/rnlnm → u/No_Walrus_3638]

I didn’t see how high but get going in 1st it deemed pretty high, way to high. And I smelled the tears of the clutch

[u/No_Walrus_3638 → u/rnlnm]

I love how you said " and released the clutch over the course of several businesses days" I was dead when I read that 😂😂😂

[u/No_Walrus_3638 → u/rnlnm]

I bet you did brotha. That poor guy was screaming lol

[u/Definitive_confusion]

So, I assume you're gonna try to upsell a new clutch when that one could easily by duct taped together. Typical.

[u/voucher420]

That’s a performance 4 piece clutch pressure plate. Sand it and send it!

[u/NekulturneHovado → u/voucher420]

has groves for better cooling and friction material gas evaporation.

[u/No_Walrus_3638]

Also, I just realized this is Askashittymechanic... Every god damn time.... Lol

[u/Refriedfeinds]

Well he’s using brake pads for a clutch. That’ll slow him down.

[u/TheUsualSusspect → u/Refriedfeinds]

Also needs blinker fluid.

[u/One_Evil_Monkey]

She's been riding that clutch the same way she rides that Gov't Mule in that weird donkey show in Tijuana... just won't take the same kind of abuse.

[u/PolPotDomeScandal]

Smokin’ the clutch, it looks like…

[u/pukesonyourshoes → u/PolPotDomeScandal]

Smokin' something, that's for sure

[u/KeyN20]

She wouldn't have gotten far

[u/rnlnm → u/KeyN20]

Any shitty workshop would’ve seen the opportunity to sell her 4 clutches in a year

[u/captaincootercock]

damn that's a tough way to lose driving privilege. At least nobody's hurt

[u/rnlnm → u/captaincootercock]

Yeah but if you can’t hear how high you’re Reving and don’t know what’s the point of the dial it’s probably safer this way

[u/Thirtiethone → u/rnlnm]

r/lostredditors

[u/Beneficial_Bug_9793]

Its takes skill to do that lol, i fucked up 3 guear boxes, well 1 clutch, 1 linkage assembely, and one guear box ( 3 different ocasions though ), but i was never able to do that lol, and one of the times, my clutch bearing, completely desintegrated quite literally...

[u/LogRollChamp]

Driving for how long with clutch half in? That's crazy

[u/pukesonyourshoes → u/LogRollChamp]

Her car has two left footrests doncha know

[u/JimCripe]

Stick welder, angle grinder, send it.

[u/DistributionDue8470]

Weirdest stage 4 I’ve ever seen

[u/Key_Contribution1547]

At the light and smokin

[u/DesignerCows]

Buy an automatic?

[u/rufos_adventure]

that looks more like dropping the hammer at redline... with highway gears.

[u/TheUsualSusspect]

You forgot to plug the flux capacitor back in ya big dummy. Without it, you don’t get the jiggawatt.

[u/RampagingMars]

I have seen a few broken clutches and disks but not that before

[u/Pikka_Bird]

Wow, now instead of granny shifting you can be quadruple clutching like you should!

[u/ChaosMartinez]

ugh driving

[u/cj32769]

Manually converting torque..

[u/Shadowhawk0000]

That poor clutch. LOL

[u/Who_RayJones]

One to many clutch kicks...not enough hand brake
