So i was going up this hill and it was icy and snowy so i was in frist and i got no traction so i shifted into 2nd and spun more (speedo was go up like crazy) shift in 3rd still spinning and from here i wanted to see how far i would get to stop my wheels from spinning so i put in 4th and still and speedo was still go kinda crazy an i put into 5th and punched it ( foot was off the clutch) and i saw my RPMS go up like crazy but my speedo wasnt..humm..car was in 5th and clutch was out and 5 mins later i smelled clutch like crazy.

was my car going to slow and it was burning my clutch? I want to know why this happened?

 

On my working truck (92 Nissan hard body) when I used to go uphills it felt really powerless and then it use to smell like burned plastic. My clutch was starting to give up. It was my dad's truck but he donated it to me lol.. He purchase the truck brand new and the clutch got replaced when it had 150,xxx miles on it. Lasted for a long time.

 

"Spinning like crazy" is a good way to destroy lots of stuff. It does not help to spin the wheels faster in snow and ice. You should let off the gas and let them grab the road again, then gently gas on it. Once they start to spin, at any speed, you have less traction than when rolling normally. It is a case of static versus dynamic coefficients of friction if you want to get academic about it.

 

I smell a $300-$500 repair bill headed your way.

 

The clutch smelled like that because you were making it work way too hard. It was going up hill which is hard enough for it, then you put it in the worst gear you could.
