I second the clutch, especially if it's the stock one. The stock clutch on a 240 is the worst smeeling clutch when slipped I have ever experienced. I fried mine one night (destroyed it) and just about threw up.

nope, i dont think its the clutch, its aftermarket, the thing is, there is that rubber pcv hose that goes over the manifold, and i havent covered it up yet, also the wireloom for my afm wire has just melted.
