Hey guys, last night I made a mistake by letting my friend borrow my car for an hour. When he brought it back it reeked of clutch. He told me that he wanted to "test it out" and launch it, yet when he dropped the clutch the engine revved freely and he didnt go far. This morning on my way to work I noticed that whenever I put it into first and engage the clutch, the car shakes pretty hard.

The car has less than 6k on it. Any ideas as to what this could be? I did a few searches but I'm still unclear.

 

Dam if his driving sucks that bad, then he overheated it bad enough to warp the flywheel, PP, or disc.

 

sounds like what happend on my buddys 99 civic si, turned out to be a cracked pressure plate.

 

LOL.

sorry to hear this happened.

 

hopefully warranty will take care of ya

 

Thanks guys. Hopefully they will take care this issue. At least I learned a valuable lesson...never trust ANYONE with your car.

 

Why would you expect anyone other than your friend to take care of this issue? Sounds to me like the dumb bastard owes you a new clutch.

 

get him to pay for this... thats not cool at all, i would never do that to one of my friends cars... especially if he let me borrow it

 

Why would anyone think this would be covered under warranty? Your friend obviously is responsible.

 

Good news guys, the car is starting to shake less and less upon take off everytime I drive it! AND, if the clutch is still in poor shape in a few days my friend is taking responsibility for his actions.
