Clutch Blow Up in side the car

[pescadoygamba]

I reckon theyve set the clutch too tight and he should have shut it down with the amount of dust coming in the cabin.

[MultiTaketwo]

looks like a death trap.

[Hawk7886]

@MultiTaketwo no shit, it's a fucking race car

[MultiTaketwo]

@Hawk7886 Get the twig out of your ass then maybe you'd be a tad bit more friendly.

[Hawk7886]

@MultiTaketwo why don't you go fuck yourself, thundercunt

[bad65stang]

yellow yellow yello-dump the clutch...oh wait where did my hand go?

[mikethenascarfan]

when you see smoke poring our from where your gear stick is- don't fucking try to accelerate to 200 mph in a 1/4 mile!

[Rusty1591]

@mikethenascarfan in those helmets u wouldent know if it was clutch smoke or just smoke from the burnout

[mikethenascarfan]

@Rusty1591 true- but normally it would be coming from the rear and sides of the car as opposed to the engine/tranmission area

[pb8700538]

Back in the day drivers died from clutch blow ups from parts flying through the floor like a grenede . Even if the driver was not hurt with today's sfi blow proof clutch bellhousing the driver still had a concushion .

[pb8700538]

i seen this happen before , very dangerous . a 10second vette did this right on the starting line at hawaii raceway park , parts of his fly wheel was flying from under his car .

[missfatalefemme]

Hope the driver wasn't hurt.

[icek9a]

modern cars are terrible, i would much rather have nothing but a lap belt and a large steering wheel to stop my face in the case of an accident

[daveyAWS]

@icek9a its not really that "modern" its a funny car

[Hawk7886]

@icek9a this is most likely facetious but it still doesn't keep it from being an extremely stupid thing to say.

[icek9a]

@Hawk7886 it was sarcasm genius, I don't think anyone would compare safety in a 60s muscle car to a modern 4-door and choose the lap belt

[Tincho1552]

Espectacular

[MakuthePOtHead]

back to future !

[Typhlosion100]

how come you didnt stop when you seen the smoke? 

[xstr33tr4cerx]

@Typhlosion100 thats how stupid people are in the drag race scene they think muscle cars can do anything until they fucking blow in your face

[Storm7289]

@xstr33tr4cerx not a muscle car stupid fanboy

[xstr33tr4cerx]

@Storm7289 yah ok still some shit car and drag racing

[Storm7289]

@xstr33tr4cerx its called a funny car and it would destroy a veyron in a straight line

[xstr33tr4cerx]

@Storm7289 even better veyron is a shit car but you can enjoy it on the street this some fucking funny car so you can drive maybe 5 min and its still some shitty V8 which is probably american made aka garbage

[Storm7289]

@xstr33tr4cerx such a sad fanboy. ford makes a v8 that dynos at 416rwhp (484hp) and that car beat an audi r8 v8 around laguna seca. they have broken the world record for the most powerful OEM production v8 in the 2013 gt500 (650hp). chevy has the fastest time around the nurburgring with the zr1 and makes good engines using very old OHV technology. stop being such a fanboy and appreciate all cars gtfo the domestic hater boat

[xstr33tr4cerx]

@Storm7289 um no i dont give a shit im not a hater cause im not jealous of domestics in any way they suck they ugly they have they sound like shit and have the worst handling let alone bad suspension ive been under a lot of domestics at my shop and they have such stupid designs that break faster than you can cum

[Storm7289]

@xstr33tr4cerx so you just tossed aside all the logic i put out and started sounding like an angry child... lol gtfo fanboy

[xstr33tr4cerx]

@Storm7289 what fucking logic all your saying is justifying that domestics and all they got is power

[Storm7289]

@xstr33tr4cerx boss 302 beats audi r8 v8 around laguna seca?

[xstr33tr4cerx]

@Storm7289 ok so stock 68 V8 vs a built up 302 from like what is that 67' or something STFU man same goes for when someone has a built rb26 skyline and smokes your shit muscle car the difference is the muscle car is built too just being dumb plz

[Storm7289]

@xstr33tr4cerx LOL what? the 2012 boss 302 bone stock does it... have you been living under a rock?

[xstr33tr4cerx]

@Storm7289 lol your stupid a 2012 fuck modern cars omg your mad funny just give up i got comment to the ends of the earth bro just stop

[Storm7289]

@xstr33tr4cerx listen you cant even speak sensical english. you think cars get worse as they get newer. lol youre a funny guy

[xstr33tr4cerx]

@Storm7289 dude i fucking work on cars for a living but panels get weaker and easier to dent and bend most new cars run throttle by wire and electronic steering racks now so they are super unsafe. the thing with the fucking prius was because of throttle by wire. and the newer the car the uglier it is engines are so wired up now why bother building a car unless you got enough to buy a lambo cause tuning these new shits is expensive lol and me having a miata is nothing funny its a popular car

[Hawk7886]

@xstr33tr4cerx the thing with "the fucking prius" was also not caused by throttle by wire but stupid people trying to cash in on a non-existent problem or retards bunching their floor mats up around the throttle. electric power steering is an assist; should it malfunction it creates either very funny, 'notchy' steering wheel feel or no assist at all, the latter being exactly the same thing older cars experienced if a power steering belt broke.

[xstr33tr4cerx]

@Hawk7886 few of the new cars i would 2011 up and cars that haven't come out yet use electronic steering wheels like literal dude think of a wireless control that's what i meant by electronic steering i already know about the steering assist systems out there and its proven that the throttle by wire theory is true because when a ground go bad(one out of many possibilities) the ECU reboots and where ever the the throttle was prior to the reboot is where the throttle stays until complete

[Hawk7886]

@xstr33tr4cerx do you even read what you type? In a fly-by-wire system, if the signal to the throttle position motor is lost, it closes the throttle plate. Interrupt the signal from the ECM, throttle closes. The prius case was nothing more than driver error and lies - in the event that ANY vehicle encounters a race condition, you can avoid crashing into shit by simply pushing the damn gear selector up one click to neutral - zero brain cells required and doable in a second or less.

[xstr33tr4cerx]

@Hawk7886 one read what i said again and try to think but dont hurt yourself and the prius if it was driver error or what ever you want to call it i just wonder why is a guy racing a prius with his family in it? -_-

[Hawk7886]

@xstr33tr4cerx lolololololololol ur tarded

[Storm7289]

@xstr33tr4cerx omg you have a fucking miata.................wow thats hilarious

[Hawk7886]

@Storm7289 retard. miatas fucking rule if you like driving or racing.

[Storm7289]

@Hawk7886 or if you like looking like a faggot and being slower than a v6 minivan

[charliepioneer]

well clearly someone overlooked that

[genmaxpain]

mmmmm the same smell as if you would to go 200kph and slam on the brakes with out locking up mmmm

[2FuriousFreak]

I HATE that smell x.x

[JMoore4291]

i wonder what year he's in now?

[86LiftedK10]

Right when he was about to shift dam

[Bischlarbo69]

HIS CLUTCH DID NOT BLOW UP. He just clearly hit 88 mph...

[TLAUZON22]

slipped out of warp drive again

[0XAciDRaiNX0]

note.

when clutch go boom,

clutch make EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEUUUUUUUUUUUUW­WWWWWW sound.

[TheVengefulCo]

Damn, why are they even using a clutch? a car like this shouldve a an extremely strong high stall torque converter.

[TurboFox89]

@TheVengefulCo

Once you get into the pro-stock and other higher classes they don't run Auto's in the cars. they use a Lenco or some other style of sequential manual trans. Then the clutches are setup by timers etc to engage a certain amount at a certain time. This way they can be adjusted where as a TQ converter won't be able to be adjusted per run like they would need to be.

[pimpjuice8921573]

DAMN

[brizzlefizzle]

0:07 supercharger whine (; hahah

[buttersisthebest]

what the hell if i saw smoke i wouldn't run i would have fixed the problem first instead of blowing out the whole tranny

[uncidan]

@buttersisthebest could have been normal smoke

[rcaldwell1973]

@buttersisthebest It was more than likey smoke coming inside the car from when he did his burnout

[NesteHukka2]

Did the driver got injured? My old car, with standard low power engine had a fault in manual transmission shifter which caused it one day to lock two gears on in the same time, completely locking the transmission. Fortunately it happened on city speeds just leaving trafficlights. There were literally nothing left of clutch and pressure assembly. Just some more revs and the bellhousing wouldn't take it. That was unbelievable mess!

[squirellekiller]

asbestos!!!! runnnnn!!!!! lol

[2ga14b]

oh snap.

[superregal85]

Amen on scatter shield

[tlfrantz1]

Scatter shield, anyone?

[locomotiveAlex1996]

sounds like megatrons gun of transformers lol



[DominicanGrip45]

I herd of a guy getting killed like this, clutch went in to his neck. I hope he is alright

[wdb4me]

Sure is it not a automatic trans???

[dkchapss]

hit 4

[cold2036]

Ooooo sht!!!!

[gozney1987]

was he ok?

[JesusTheSatanist]

haha best vid I've seen in a while

[tylerwalker2]

gotta love hearing the CO2 system goin off after xD atleast he knows it works

[KPAracing]

One word for it. Fuck!

[richardispeachy]

A bit of poo MUST have come out then.

[crb2011]

Was this a Pro Mod?

[DJBackpack]

That would scare the living shit out of me. XD

[breezynutz1458]

And that's why they make stronger bell housings lol

[RedResurrections]

holy fuck!

[Guzzor2]

Delorean in Action To Year 0

[WickedTornado]

@Guzzor2 What's that supposed to mean?

[Guzzor2]

@WickedTornado He traveled to Year 0?

[wallycastro3]

That's the flywheel breaking loose not the clutch. that's not even a manual transmition.

[giltpr]

i believe thats actually the flywheel

[Storm7289]

shit the piece just missed his hand looks like

[duramaxjad4]

Usally when u see smoke pouring out off the tranny befor you race you wouldnt go....just sayin

[wigsplittin26]

Clutch Smoke... Dont breathe that.

[MCM5595]

@wigsplittin26 straight asbestos...

[TheEarepol]

i think he wants to get out fast :)

[The1200sportster]

new boxers please

[praynker]

death trap

[ahoneyman]

There is a shield around the clutch, but sparks still get in. The driver has a fireproof suit on so sparks aren't going to hurt you too much. The shield is there to prevent pieces of the clutch from hitting the driver's feet on each side of the transmission. The pieces are moving pretty fast and can chop off a toe or rip some deep cuts in your legs. As long as it does that, a little smoke and a coupla sparks are OK.

[ebradahusla]

Doesn't the govt mandate a housing of some sort to prevent the clutch explosions from getting in the cabin like this?

[Rougewolf]

@ebradahusla Ya on street cars... that is the exact opposite of a street car I man like polar opposite dude lol

[GUMMYBEAYUH]

Those high powered dragsters scare me to death.

[bigt1nyhatch]

It's official. If I see one more "v-tec just kicked in" quote at the top of the highest rated comments...

I'm going to kill! I mean this.

It stopped being funny after the first five hundred quintillion times I heard it. The last four hundred quadrillion times has just been overkill... seriously

[supbitcheez]

Awwww...sounded like it sneezed :(

[TurbinePower69]

When You Aussies do it...you know how to do it RIGHT !! lol Hope he didn't

lose his foot or injured in any way. Is that  a Lenko he's running for a box ?

I was at Willowbank last August when I was over there visiting friends...Very nice facility !!

[llamalover02]

wasn't an Allison Duramax...so no wonder :]

[llamalover02]

wasn't an Allison Duramax...so no wonder :]

[420satin666]

that's some star wars sounding shit right there. pod racing n shit

[stredda11]

That smoke is dust comming from the clutch, like the brake dust you get on your wheels.

[NISMO7SX]

wow, that's gotta be scary

[rhondakingj51]

"Ooooooh that smell! Cantcha smell that smell?"

[The120mmSabot]

That sounded really cool! Like a those Speeder Bikes from Star Wars :)

[SirSpun13]

Don't you think that in a drag car when you see smoke filling the cab you would just call it and shut the car down? I mean with it running on nitro-methane I wouldn't want any explosions besides those intended...lol

[RAF92Warhawk]

@SirSpun13 If you're talking about the smoke in the beginning that was probably from his burnout.

[SirSpun13]

@RAF92Warhawk

That would make sense...

[vid187lestat]

@SirSpun13 The cars usually always fill with smoke from the burnout, nothing unusual

[SirSpun13]

@vid187lestat

Oh...I've never really drag raced so I wouldn't know much about it, just wondering. Thank you though!!

[ippielb]

sounds exactly like the speeder bikes off of star wars return of the jedi...

[Psychopathicryda208]

Yea but the flywheel bolts onto the side of the block usually and the clutch goes into the transmission and the when you bolt the trans up to the block the flywheel and clutch meet up as to what happened here?? catastrophic clutch failure and i dont think he knew it was coming you can smell a fucked up clutch from a mile away. If that was clutch smoke coming up through the cabin he would have known it. And not all clutches have calbles most nowadays are hydraulic driven

[Afterburner8004]

ugh the noises it makes are terrible

[balleron24z]

Press 4 to hear the car sneeze ;)

[MKIIProductions]

Apparently this car was a Rental.

[xXRCfanaticRCXx]

hold # 4

[Afterburner8004]

wow. that was fucking INTENSE.

turn up your speakers

[llamalover02]

FAIL

[firebirdbill89gta]

holy shit i would have shit my self

[55crash]

I like how people are commenting on ballistic blankets and scatter shields. lolol

This isn't your typical street car or 500hp bracket car...... this car has a "clutch can" (bell housing) that is rated to contain a complete clutch failure by itself. These are typically made from titanium and cost roughly $4000. Google "Trick Titanium" if you don't believe me.

[uriahbrwn]

i would have died from the sound lmao

[Super98mustang]

didnt he notice something was wrong when smoke was coming in the car?!!

[midnightfapper]

pink bottles keep coming, james bond coupe pop clutch 100 ;)

[stopthemadness99]

Holy shit. If it did that with a scatter shield, imagine what the inside of that car would have looked like without one.

[flyjum]

thats why you need a diaper to run this fast(scatter shield)

[ASargent300]

Paused at 0:07, will be the initial point of the clutch explosion

[August18th1990]

@ASargent300 Picture perfect

[qasdr85elcamino]

his clutch is burning in the beginning and hes still gonna run it, claps and thumbs up for you my friend.

[randytosh]

underwear please and thank you

[SinistrChevy]

gotta love scatter shields

[foxdmulder]

.....Piiiinnnnnggggggggg......­....''wooohooo...popcorns ready''

[qasdr85elcamino]

@foxdmulder dontcha mean ding?

[ilovecats748]

man thats scary

[dodgedurango12345678]

i like how they put the fire exstungisher right where he cant get it lol

[x1919893]

Damn lucky for ballistic blankets!

[toyoracing89]

He probably had to invest in a new warddrobe after that little event.

[tfarkL]

how did it happen? i mean it loks like smoke is coming up thru the floor is he standin on the clutch at the beginning and finally it blows?

[vhodoo987]

@tfarkL The Clutch is a component in the Transmission(i think) or the Gearbox i cant remember what he was standing on was the clutch pedal

[jordanblewett]

@vhodoo987 i think he was holding the trans brake-dunno what actually exploded tho

[pabloultraxtreme]

@vhodoo987 that is for the launch control or something like that, the clutch is used to turn the power of the engine into movement of the car, in top drag race cars the clutch is very abused, and if you use and abused clutch at high rpms it will blow like we've seen now

[spxlazy]

@vhodoo987 the clutch is more than one component, their is the clutch pedal the clutch cable,pressure plate the actual clutch disc n the fly wheel

[vhodoo987]

@spxlazy yer i know lol that was my brother who posted that im the mechanical one lol

[vhodoo987]

@spxlazy thanks any way

[RealDjSkeet]

@vhodoo987 LMAOOOOO

[nubsbtch]

there is the clutch disc, clutch pressure plate, throw out or release bearing, clutch slave cylinder and clutch master cylinder

[du4lstrik3]

@vhodoo987 lol. are you sure you aren't your brother? idiot.

[TheDrakenZ]

@spxlazy and on auto transmissions there are a series of clutch disks between metal disks inside the transmission and the transmission fluid puts pressure on different series of clutches inside the transmission with each gear. -- Rebuilt my friends camaro's TH350 transmission and it had like 5 clutch disks for each gear, had to machine it to fit 7 for each gear.

[stampede122]

@vhodoo987 the clutch works withe the transmission to help it shift

[64fairlane305]

@tfarkL yeah, looks like he was asking for it

[TheRotaryman]

@tfarkL i think he was, cause it looks like he was riding on the friction point. he didn't have a trans-brake, so he was riding the clutch a little

[thomflan]

@tfarkL Even though the clutch pedal is engaged (which renders the clutch disengaged) there still is rotation and some force going on, this clutch was probably just defective, or maybe the driver rested is foot out a touch which caused the clutch to not start to engage the drive too hard but enough to cause enough heat and friction, then as soon as you drop the motherload of engine power through the clutch that is already too hot (and it looked like this engine had heaps) it causes problems.

[vid187lestat]

@tfarkL smoke is probably from the burnout he did 10 seconds before he started the video.

[corvettels9]

@vid187lestat nah, burnout smoke is white. That was his clutch cooking. You could see it coming from where the tranny connects to the bell housing.

[The92camaroRS]

@tfarkL 

[The92camaroRS]

@tfarkL sounds like the disc completely gave way and blew up the clutch assembly... and from the flames and sparks looks like he blew it all straight thru the bell housing too

[0FlyingSwede0]

@tfarkL whats happening is the clutch disk is slipping and creating a ton of heat because of all the friction, and once he really gets on the power the heat and rotational inertia are too much for it.

[jonmogo1]

Blew up just as VTEC was about to kick in YO

[SS496BBC]

@jonmogo1 VTEC's for pussies!!

[colenbrak]

@jonmogo1 ahahhaha

[Dmet234]

if i was the driver.. i prolly woulda shit myself D:

[ProjectFanatic]

Hell that was close. To who ever the driver may be, your lucky that non of the shrapnel hit you. Here's a tip for you and other racers. I don't know if you knew, but go get yourself an industrial cirgularsaw blade that's the right size and still in tip condition, go to an engineering workshop and ask them to mill a custom clutch. Those cirgularblades are tough and can take alot of punch. But this is only a comment from me that should be saying the least.

[12345tou]

PROBABLY A FORD

[SpiritsoftheWolf]

@12345tou, nahh a dodge, dodge has more transmission failures

[lebensraummetal]

@SpiritsoftheWolf arguing about who makes shittier transmissions, gm or dodge is like arguing about what feels better, getting punched in the eye or kicked in the balls.

[lebensraummetal]

@SpiritsoftheWolf Hey dont give me that. I'm on your side.

I wasnt saying "you're stupid for picking an opposing point,"

I'm saying "chevy trannys and dodge trannys suck so much, there's no use in pointing out which one sucks slightly more".

[SpiritsoftheWolf]

@lebensraummetal, sorry, thought you was on the opposite side

[cw147]

@lebensraummetal I prefer getting punched in the eye becuase you see pretty colours aferwards.

[lebensraummetal]

@cw147 Ahh. the perfect analogy for the chevrolet corvette. a beautiful looking car that treats its driver to a complimentary knuckle and ocular cavity party, all while falling apart in the process. for no extra charge!

[BIHxJDMxSUPRA]

@lebensraummetal well said

[buttfuckbilbo]

@12345tou FIRST ON RACE DAY BIOTCH!!!! this was a gm product..guaranteed!!!

[Trillasecond]

@12345tou most likely xD

[ThePrinceOfSanDiego]

@12345tou Most defiantly :)

[Rodiak41]

i have never heard something so evil die so fast...

[BangYourFace]

Voyon donn ! Y voyait bin que la boucane montait ! pis criss une clutch sa sent l'cul mesemble si tu vois la boucane monté sa dois sentir en esti ! j'laurais meme pas faite décoller d'la ! Mais bon au moins que l'char cé pas crasher, c'est l'principal ! :p

[electricshockproof]

Is it just me, or did that explosion seem to be less than contained.

[senecalife180]

@frontenginedragsterd idk how most of that would help when that shit just blows up in your face but ok then

[MrMaggotforlife13]

that looked like it burned

[dazzar69]

Thats why if you see smoke coming from it, dont fkn doo it lol

[TweakedReality]

@frontenginedragsterd That seriously sounded like something from the fast and furious...lmao

[Hankola]

If I saw smoke rising from the gearbox, wouldn't that be a sign to shut off the engine?

[Polybun]

@Hankola that was clutch dust, and yea, it would. It started as soon as the revs came up and that really signifies a pressure plate malfunction or some other clutch issue that probably wasn't going to end well.
