cm712 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 My mate was launching in his r32 gtr .. he launched in 1st when he went for 2nd he could not clutch in properly (from what i am told) and he had 2 get his car home .. so could u rev match then just chuck in the gear u need just 2 get it home ? Or would it still be as bad cuz i think he was just jamming the gears in with the cluch down (from what i have heard). Would there be any difference if he rev matched ? easier to change ? less damage done 2 box ? thanks guys 4 ur help Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/270812-rev-matching-with-stuffed-clutch/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCR48 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 yes, but no idea if it does damage or not. i presume it would but would be minimal Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/270812-rev-matching-with-stuffed-clutch/#findComment-4605023 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozodos Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Yeah i had to do this for 35km once (master cylinder decided to shit itself out of town), basically I managed to get it into 5th and use it as a poor man's auto for most of the way, but I was shitting myself when I came to a bridge with traffic lights that I was going to wreck the box from putting clutch in and pretty much forcing it into 2nd to take off again, but I got there in the end, and (so far so good), there wasn't any damage to it.

bubba Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Had to do it when my clutch fork pivot broke, you turn the car off when you come to a stop anyway and then start it in gear.

Russman Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 You can do it without damage but you gotta be good at it. A bit of crunching won't kill it though. Practice on your mums corola first haha.

jantolis Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I had to do this for 2 months while waiting to get the cash to get a new clutch and then actually getting the clutch installed. You get used to it and end up being a better driver afterwards. Even with a clutch i tend to rev match anyway.

Birds Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Everyone should learn to rev match anyway in case something like this happens. It makes you a better driver anyway if you can double clutch...your synchros and clutch will love you for it.

s13_Skyline_inside Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 i do it in the work car all the time , its easier to do if the sycro's are stuffed, and yes it does stuff the syncro's, but it is easier for the whole lot incuding the clutch if you rev match and use the clutch Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/270812-rev-matching-with-stuffed-clutch/#findComment-4612783 Share on other sites More sharing options...
