2. Darrell Says: How to POP a clutch in 1st with a manual transmission. First you need to find a secluded area where there is no traffic and no parked cars. Just open road. Most important, make sure there are no cops. Step 2. PUT YOUR SEAT BELT ON. Depress clutch pedal to the floor. Put the vehicle in 1st gear. Reve engine to about 5,000 RPMs. POP the clutch out and pay attention to how the vehicle is moving. This procidure is bad for your entire output drive system, Including your tires. I would recomend that you not do this at all. espeacaly, if your inexpierianced. It is easier to burnout wthh a manuel transmition.
3. Lucas Gomez Says: If the car is RWD rev the engine, let out the clutch and hit the brakes while keeping the gas pressed.
If the car is FWD do the same thing with the gas and clutch but pull the ebrake instead of hitting the brake pedal. It's not so bad for your clutch and tranny as it is for your tires and drivetrain and brakes. It is easier to do a burnout in an automatic car as you don't have to worry about the clutch.
4. nitrobreath2000 Says: What kind of car is this burn out going to happen in? An older datsun sedan might not even perform a burn out while a 1968 Chrysler Barracuda will do burn outs all day and all night long, for about a month. But in any event, the other posters are correct, in that: any vehicle can withstand only so much abuse and you will end up giving your paycheck to the auto parts store when all your drivetrain parts are "toast."

Drag Racer's tip: have a friend with a bottle of water spray down and create a small water puddle under those tires that will be doing the burn out. This will make them easier to spin and you won't need to rev up the engine past 3,000 RPM in order to initiate the burn out. Beware! If you use too much water and the car begins to hydroplane when it launches, be ready to swing your steering wheel wildly in the opposite direction of the way the car is heading because it will drift to the left or the right....unexpectedly!

Good Luck and tell us which parts broke first after all that.
5. roger Says: this is the worse thing you can do to a car, force the engine to endlessly spin the tires while going slow speeds this can overheat the engine and transmission and put excessive wear on everything the cars of today are not built for this kind of punishment. We used to pouroose build heavy duty drive trains and transmissions to take this abuse. all that happens now is dad or moms car wears out brand new tires suddenly, and a good mechanic can tell from the computer readouts the car has been severely abused recently. With engines , transmissions and other car parts extremely expensive what do you get except a head ach from burning rubber?
6. olde_lar Says: All burn outs are bad for any vehicle, it puts too much pressure on the drive train and its vital components. It will destroy your clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, transmission, mounts, universal joints, and so on. The only good reason to do a burn out in a street car is to give the parts store more business.

Yes its bad for the clutch and tranny, i wouldnt recommend doing it unless you have an upgraded clutch.
But if you must do a burnout, hold the clutch in, rev the engine to about 5k rpm and release the clutch quickly, when you release the clutch quick hit the brakes still giving it gas. Follow these instructions if your car is rear wheel drive, if its front, do above steps but pull the ebrake instead of holding down the brake pedal.

I used to do this stuff all the time when i was a kid....now that im older....i regret doing it...****** up alot of my cars that way.


have fun,

Alex Benjamin-Lind Says: if you really wanna kill your car feel free to do a burnout.. front wheel drive.. pull ebrake ... keep the revs about 5400 or if you have a shitty car just redline it.. the torque tops out at about 4000 but you gotta leave about 1000 rpm extra because the engine will slow down by that much when you release the clutch and that will give you optimum torque. ... your first gear will probably go before the clutch and clutches are cheaper to replace compared to a transmission rebuild. an automatic is very difficult to do a burnout in but its not impossible
