Need help on determining if I just have a worn clutch or bad transmission
This is my first car I’ve ever modified so pretty ignorant besides what I research through these forums.
Drove to San Diego zoo today noticed on the drive I couldn’t put my car into 6th at all so drove in 5th the entire way never going above 5k rpm but by the time I got to the zoo I noticed a burning smell like a burning clutch
My car is a 13 frs with 90,000 miles, I actually replaced the clutch at Toyota during the throw out bearing ordeal in 2018 i do abuse the clutch, I am running uel header with a tune now since september 2020 not sure if the added torque caused anything to wear out faster as in the clutch or transmission?
