me car wont move, why?
firstly apololgies 4 starting a new topic im just trying to get som help on why my car wont go so heres the situation.
i was out on a nice lonely road last nite i thought wat beta opertunity to try a standstill burnout, i hav been having trouble getting enough heat into my tires on the the stip with just a launch burnout. so i jammed my foot on the brake and throttle revving to about 8500rpm and released the clutch after about 5 seconds and a lot of noise i relesed the the brake and throttle and open the door to cheak for smoke, nothing.
so i closed the door and went to drive away as i put the car in first an let the clutch out but nothing happend i tried again numerous times in severall gears but my car would not engage gear it just behaved as if in nuetral in every gear i dun all the useuall checks leaks,fuses what hav ya nothing wrong so im geussin ive fried my clutch. i stil hav pressure in the clutch pedal and the gearbox feels normal can anyone shed any light on my situation b4 i go out and get expensive mechanics diagnosis or parts. btw it is a stock gearbox on slightly modified(cold air intake,headers, t pipe, cat back exhaust)
"2000" ap1 f20c.
thanx for any help

who dropps the clutch in at 8500 that is way too high better hope u only burned out the clutch with ur modds to the exhaust and being at 8500 rpms you might not have heard the diff blowing out but i would assume if it was that there would have been fluid all over but could just blown the internals.

You don't have enough torque with an S2000 to brake stand.
Even if you did, an OEM clutch wouldn't be able to stand up it.
You seriously glazed your clutch at best.
That's one heck of an expensive lesson.
