Launching my car = failure

[itsslow]

When I try to launch my car off the line, it Bogs down as soon as you let off the clutch. I thought I was the problem, but abdullagt500 also tried launching it and it did the same thing.

The tires do not break loose at all from a stop, and the clutch spins a little shifting from 1-2. I usually launch it at 3500-4k rpm, and once I dump the clutch it bogs back down to 1500-2k rpm.

When I try to do a burnout, the clutch is the only thing that spins. It doesn't smoke, but you can smell the clutch being burnt.

Any ideas what the issue could be? Car is a 07 mustang gt with 160k miles and only modifications include a Jlt series 2 intake, CMCV delete plates, off road x pipe, MGW shifter, and a fresh bama tune.

I'll try to get a video after school.

sounds like you need a clutch.

Time to retire that clutch sounds like the bite is gone

Clutch and log the tune.

I have had people tell me it wasn't the clutch.

Can I only replace the clutch disc with a factory ford one? Or do I need to buy the whole assembly? Anything else I should replace while the tranny is out?

Throw a clutch in that thing and celebrate with smokey burnouts everywhere!

with that mileage, i'd replace it all. clutch, flywheel, bearings, etc.

Can't afford it...

Can't afford it...

but you can afford new tires?

if you can't afford to replace stuff - don't abuse the car.

I can afford the parts and fixing it my self. I can't afford paying someone and worrying about transportation to school and work. Would it be stupid to wait a few more months and do a gear swap/tru trac rebuild while tranny is out in about 6 months?
