Smell clutch burning on launch but it's new

[bigstu]

Hey guys bought vx ss about 2 months ago and it just had a new standard clutch put in it 1month prior to that.when I get off the lights hard all u can smell is clutch burning am I better off just dumping it?...and do the standard one's wear out really quick with a bit of abuse?any suggestions on what brand of heavy duty clutch should I invest in.

If you can smell burnt clutch, it must have excess slip.

Previos owner bought it and had it fitted somewhere in brisbane,I've got all receipts but I've miss placed them at the moment....sorry but i think it was like 700 or something like that but I could be wrong.

New clutches need to be bedded in. So go easy on it. But having said this i cant really comment on your driving style either.. 90% of the problem could be between the steering wheel and the seat.

Yeah I think I'm a large part of the problem as my other car is vn v8 with 3500 stally that I've owned for like 7 years but I got bored of driving an auto all the time so I bought vx ss as a daily but I still wanna go fast so I guess practice makes perfect hey,if any one can recommend a heavy duty clutch it would be much appreciated

Cheers
