hi, i've got a 2003 mk2 punto 1.2 8v with 17,000 miles on the clock. I was at a busy junction and had to pull away pretty quickly so took the engine up to 5500rpm ish (the power band area) and just dumped the clutch and flawed it. at first i thought the wheels were spinning lots but there was no screeching and it didn't feel like they were and we moved of actually quite slowly considering. 100m down the road i could smell either clutch burning or tyre smoke kind of thing, i think it was the clutch but not sure. Has anyone else had this problem - slipping clutch etc, could it mean my clutch is going already? or can it just not handle 60hp !???? could it just be that i managed to wheelspin sooo much?? in the dry going straight with 60hp!! i doubt it though.
