How bad is dumping the clutch?

I just had a brand new clutch put in my car about 5,000 miles ago. This was my first 5-speed and I have never dumped the clutch before. As dumb as it sounds to do to a new clutch I REALLY want to. I understand it's bad for the clutch, but assuming I rev it up to 4k or so and drop it into 2nd, how much damage is really being done? Can I do it once with no risk of mechanical problems?How bad is dumping the clutch?%26quot;dumping%26quot; the clutch can cause transmission, axle, and clutch problems. my best advise is not to do it.How bad is dumping the clutch?to be perfectly honest it may or may not do damage but the fact still remains theres a possibility of breaking transmission mounts, assuming the car in FWD you can weaken or break the CV axles in the front along with premature ball joint failure alot COULD go wrong not saying it will but be careful when you do and dont be suprised if something does happenHow bad is dumping the clutch?you may slip it,and if that happens it will take wear of of it,chances are it may not hurt it the first time,but you never know,it will be chance your taking if you do this,i don't advise it but if you do it be prepared for what ever happens to it,you can do more transmission damage to it than clutch damage,good luck.How bad is dumping the clutch?you can do it but its relay risky. you can screw every thing up or destroy you clutch completely or every thing will be fine.How bad is dumping the clutch?heck, it's your car, dump the clutch, can't tell you how many burnouts and holeshots I've made on a clutch, just don't get wimpy, if you dump it, don't ease out on it, thats the worse thing you can do, just like riding the clutch pedal, it will glaze the pressure plate and friction plates.How bad is dumping the clutch?Dunping the clutch is a stupid thing to do it shockloads the whole drivetrain and you can twist shafts off itn eh transmission wreck differnentials crack axles or even twist them off. I have Seen first hand what dumping the clutch or missing a shift will do inside a big rig and those components are made to handle millions of miles. twisting one and a half inch shafts right off. I know a Big rig has alot more power then your car but the components are built alot heavier too. Compents in a car are not made to take that kind of abuse and youare likely to break something. JUST DONT DO IT.How bad is dumping the clutch?well you could do it and have your laughs and not break anything.



or you can ruin your transmission and or clutch.



its a crapshoot between the two.How bad is dumping the clutch?First gear is the lowest racial.The highest is fifth gear.When the engine power is going threw the trany it gos threw a sires of reductions.The higher the gear the more direct the power is being used.The higher the gear the better chance you have of burning out the clutch.The power is being stopped now by the trany and drive train.If you use first gear you will have a better tire burnout.You will end up with more were and tear on the drive train.Tell you what engage the fifth gear and dump the clutch for a long time.You will get a lot of smoke from the clutch and not harm the drive train. You will burn out the clutch and burn up the presser plate and flywheel.Heat cracks will form and eventually the flywheel will fly apart taking every thing and every one in its path. If you brake a U joint or a C.V. your drive line or drive axial will take out every thing in its path.If they stay intact and you chow up a ring and pinion gear and spider gears.The teeth will fly threw and out the differential like a bullet.And will be just as dangerous.Why do race drivers do it? There gears are beefier than the ones in your car.
