Newbie question: When does clutch burn?
Sorry for potentially dumb question but what are conditions that cause clutch to burn? I'm kicking clutch quite often to put my BRZ off balance in order to slide on turns or whip an U turn. Sometimes on rare occasions I can smell the clutch. It's quite rare, so far maybe I smelled it like 3-4 times (out of 100 kicks or so).
I used to think that it happens when there are good conditions and tires are just too grippy so clutch can't stand that but recently I smelled clutch when launching on snow and I was like... wait... hold up. What the actual f*ck. It was like -4 outside 1 inch layer of snow, car was super cold, literally 0 traction whatsoever I launched it, did "burnout" at like 2kph because it was too slippery to even gain some speed and smelled clutch?... It seemed off... So when really does the clutch slip causing burn? Did I have too high rpm or something? Could it be that transmission was too cold and something funny happened? When clutch kick in BRZ can lead to burnt clutch? When kicking clutch am I supposed to rapidly let off clutch completely rapidly or give some super brief slip like 0.2s in order to not put too much stress on transmission? Car is fully stock. I'm on winter tires so I don't think they're all that much grippy...
inb4 it's my first rwd car and I only made 6k km so far so I don't have much experience driving such cars so there's extremely high chance I'm doing something terribly wrong.
