burning the clutch happens when the enigine is revved up and you slowly let the clutch out. Or when you are driving down the road and give it full throttle. If the clutch is old and worn, the clutch fingers do not have enough spring tension to hold the clutch disc engaged to the flywheel, and the engine will begin to rev. You can't burn up a clutch while holding the clutch pedal in unless there is a problem with the clutch cable or hydraulic system not releasing the clutch disc all the way. when you push the clutch pedal in, it disengages the engine from the trans. the best way not to burn up a clutch is to let the clutch out faster while keeping the engine rpm down. It's bad when you rev the engine very high and slowly let the clutch out. it's better to let it out too fast with low engine rpm and stall the engine than to rev the engine real high and let the clutch out slowly. this causes too much slipping friction between the clutch disc and the flywheel leading to overheating the clutch and flywheel. if that happens you need to replace the clutch and either resurface the flywheel or replace it.

there are a few reasons why you could be burning the clutch. First you may reving the engine to high when starting, try letting the clutch out slowly with no gas at all when the car starts to put give it just a little gas. Once your going about 2 or three miles an hour you can let the clutch completely out. Don't leave you foot on the clutch pedal at all unless your about to change gears. Ridding the clutch like this will wear out the throwout bearing faster than the clutch. high revs and letting the clutch out fast(dumping the clutch) is very hard on your clutch.

The most common causes are 1) riding the clutch when you’re driving, i.e. you have the clutch pedal slightly depressed when driving normally. 2) Holding the car on a gradient with the clutch.
When you partially disengage the clutch as in the examples above the clutch plates slip rather than bite as they should, this causes friction which in turn leads to burning.

You can burn out a clutch quicker by accelerating very heaverly and slipplng the clutch to get away faster, or rideing the clutch ( driving with the clutch pedal slightly pressed down ) , or pulling away in a high gear or driving up a steep hill without changing down to a lower gear

When you drive with the clutch in. It's called "riding the clutch." Once you are driving, you should be completely off the clutch. The only time the clutch should be in while moving is when you're just starting after a complete stop (first in the car, red light, stop sign, etc).

Not really sure what you mean, but you should NEVER
burn your clutch. A clutch is only slipping when you start off in 1st gear. When you change gear it is only in out
A clutch should last the lifetime of the car, not like these IDIOTS that "Hold the car" with the clutch at "Lights"
etc.etc. If you are a beginner practice makes perfect

it is impossible to tell how worn your clutch is, you could put a new clutch in and go beat on the car and you would get a burning smell. The harder you are on your car (extreme down shifting, up shifting at high RPMS ECT..) the more it will slip......slipping causes heat and the burning smell. The burning smell def means your clutch is getting too hot, and heat will accelerate wear (because of the slipping) but like i said, a new clutch will slip if you are hard enough on it. Good luck!

If you're however struggling to increase you're straight and you're trying to get both hands above the edge, set Vert Shock to the test, a course that you will find it here https://tr.im/eD0PA and give it a decide to try, you will end up taken aback of how fast you may become a creature hopper in the event that you prepare the best way.
This program will not cause you to jump 1000s of situations because Vert Shock was developed and employed by true elite level basketball players.
In regards down seriously to it, if you genuinely wish to jump larger, you just found the very best program on the planet to accomplish so. Any other way might only be considered a waste of time.

Slipping the clutch occurs when it is not completely engaged, ie; the pedal is only partly depressed or released, and is neccessary when starting out or shifting to be smooth and not to stall. Burning the clutch is violent slipping and usually occurs if you rev aggressively while releasing the clutch. It is to be avoided.

well haven't driven yet but that could happen when the engine is running at a high rev and u slowly lift clutch causing the engine to give to much force on it.....or when u are running at a lower speed and u quickly accelerate whilst shifting at a high rev....it depends u could just damage on gear..that's when you'll have to "jump the clutch"..that is skipping gears..
