Tried to heat em going up a slight hill. Boost came in before the clutch had a chance to fully grab. Thought the tires were spinning but then THAT SMELL.
How hard a job is it to change the clutch? Any recomendations?

uh oh, Thats a big task. You gotta drop the cradle. There are tons of threads on that, so you can just do a search. But Cant you just burn off the glazing by starting and and stopping a whole lot? I thnk that should fiz it, it its just glazed. Just give it some time and it should be ok before you replace it.

If it still grabs and shifts like regular you're fine just don't beat on in. What clutch do you have? I wouldn't run anything except a SPEC.

The amount of work to change a clutch depends on the person. To me it ain't **** . My brother and I could have it done in aboput a whole day. Since you own a fiero learn to drop the engine because it will happen all the time. I would not be driving it hard. Why the hell would they have a turbo with a stock clutch...I won't buy anything from them just because of that display of ignorance. If you do that no telling what else they do.
