Default Uh oh

To make a long story short, I did a couple small burnouts this weekend and now I have a shudder in my driveline when taking off in first. It does it when I take off like normal (98 Z28 M6), but not when I just ease out the clutch and not when I launch from about 2200 rpm or above. I think this is my clutch, what do yall think?


edit- oh yeah, and 73,000 miles.

Did you try a "traditional" clutch test? Put it in 5th when you're going 35 or so and gas it - you want to lug it under 1500RPM's in a high gear. If the revs jump up and it shudders a bit then the clutch is slipping and that is your problem.

Awesome, I'll try that. A couple of local buddies had some ideas, so I think they're gonna check it out too. Thanks for the helpful comment!

ok, tried your test, it didn't do it so I'm guessing the clutch just got a few hot spots on it when I did the burnouts.
