45k clutch is going

lol, hey hey, dont be too nice now, i can take it ("sounds like you know what ure doing") lol, i can drive stick (i say i can atleast), i got use to the DBW and smooth shifts but i do drive it hard.... kinda. down shifting and high revving. i dont know what exactly would heat up a clutch to ubnormal conditions to create it to get the glaze.... now i need to take mental note of when its doing it..... i do believe more so on take off.... out of my garage isn't bad but the coffee shop down the road is always a job to take off.... from my house to there it might be 2km.

under normal driving conditions a clutch should stay fairly cool (unglazed) and not change place?

Hey hey, usually people who understand how a clutch works (the diff between hydraulic and cable) know how to use it too. Because we do have a weak clutch, I've noticed glazing after prolonged stop and go traffic and high ambient temps (no chance to cool off), and also if there are a lot of hills. That and aggressive launches. . . it doesn't take much to glaze it and have a noticeable affect on launches, but it doesn't take much to sheer of the glaze either. It's not all that different from the brakes fading (and that happens pretty quickly too).
