Car doesn't seem to transfer power to the wheels quick enough after letting offclutch
Just as the title says guys. I'm wondering if my clutch is toast. It only has about 20k miles on it, it probably didn't have a chance against my driving style. Or maybe the Clutch Quadrant needs to be replaced or? I have no idea. It only happens when I'm starting from a stop, when I downshift while rolling it engages perfectly. Maybe the tires are spinning and not squealing so I can't tell? Any opinions would be great.

If your tires where spinning you should feel rear end of car loosen up some. I would put in a billet quadrent and adjustable cable. See if this helps. 20k is that much on a clutch. The new quad and cable will be cheaper then a new clutch. And any ways its a good upgrade from stock setup. Hope its not the clutch. As thats a blown saturday.

Yah its definitely not tire spinning, I just mentioned that as to not to rule out everything. I was racing Saturday night and my clutch slipped bad when I shifted into 2nd. I'm hoping its just the quadrant. Thanks for the info.
