Also, a dumb idea, but this is the first manual car I've owned. The car I learned to drive manual on also. It was driven before me from florida to Illinois by my grandfather who knows how to drive a stick, but after that, it was all on me.
Please tell me my clutch isn't going to go soon.
Anyone know how much it is to replace one on these cars?
I don't know for sure but $2,500* ($ 10K) has been batted around before. Scary. Might make you consider those burnouts again.
That burning may also be from you traction control. If you leave it on during burnouts, you will get the brakes working and can smell them for sure. I just worked up the driveway in deep snow and could smell the brake pads from the operation of the TC.
Just my two cents.
would be nice to know the cost so I can start a special piggy bank for it.
