    Not normal at all.
    You may find that the throwout bearing is sticking on the shaft when it is cold or that the cable is worn and sticking when cold.
    When you do things right, people won’t be sure you’ve done anything at all,,,,,,,,,

    It sounds to me as if the clutch is worn and on it's way out. I had a HD clutch in my car and just before it started slipping etc I estimate the force needed to depress the clutch was close to 30-40 kg. The clutch was rooted.

    Your a mod!!! well done!! Oh wait, no your not!! Hahahaha throwing round authority you don't even have. Power struggle me thinks.... Ignore her, she knows NOT what she speaks.

    At no point did he mention he plans on skidding on public roads. (we know your a lil S L O W but maybe you should read what he said.)

    To op maybe get the clutch and transmission serviced. Sounds like somethings not quite right!

    For sure mate, can only help! Next time just tell everyone you wanna do burnouts on a pad.

    Then it wont make some of the delicate flower's on here so upset about sniff sniff illegal activity!

    sounds more likely one of the things decicrate mentioned.
    If you want to see if the clutch is slipping find a hill, take of normally and put in staright to 3rd or 4th and accelerate.
    If its slipping the engine will rev but provide non or little drive if its ok it should just bog down

    What illegal behaviour did he state he was planning on the roads? The guy is having clutch problems and he has somehow offended a woman on a power trip for no reason! Tell her to harden up but i know it's a lost cause...
