@desertdude I have not been ridding the pedal. If that was the case I would be burning my clutch even while driving onroad, forget while offroading. Driving a manual onroad and off-road are two completely different things. The mistake was when I was trying to self recover, I would give it a half clutch while reving the engine. The maximum burn used to happen when I used to engage low gear with the clutch half depressed. This was my mistake. Why I did the half clutch, to prevent the engine from stalling. It took me a few times to realise that the Jeep XJ rarely stalls on 4lo gear and I never have to hold the clutch. So whenever I am in a spot I engage low, release the clutch, and simply give it a bit of gas to get out. Also, I generally keep the Tyre pressure at 10-12 psi so that I don't have any issues. Not yet perfected the art of self recovery with a manual. The last Wagan drive, I was stuck in a side ways position in extreme soft sand, and I learnt from Gaurav how to rotate the tyres just the lit bit in intervals without burning the clutch while holding the gas pedal at 2000 - 3000 rpm. Unfortunately I m not a born driver, but I am willing to learn and have learnt few things the hard way or rather the burnt way..

Just a bit of fun. Complete the sentence. I’ll start you off, You know you’re getting old when... lowered cars were so cool you used to chop your springs with a grinder, now even looking at a lowered car gives you backache.

You know your getting old when you use valet parking wherever possible because they dont forget where they park your car.

after digging around i found that the ecm there is of a nissan ad or also sentra probably after 1982 to 1998 anyway i got a wiring diagram its of ga16de and sr20 the diagram is attached below hope this helps if not try to bring in more details then might come up with something l wiring diagrams.pdf

Trying to travel the 15 minutes from my apartment to the workshop and it takes over an hour

Excellent plan and much needed for newbies to have a little extra to move to next level

First thing I was taught when learning to drive offroad. Clutch is only for moving from a stand still or changing gears. Once you are down with that, move your foot away from the pedal and rest it on the floor or somewhere. Because sometimes people like to rest their foot or part of the foot on the pedal but in off road situation going over bumps and i even terrain you might be unknowingly pressing the clutch as you get jostled around the car. So do not ever ride the pedal. There are very few things in my life that I am proud off. One of those things is Ive never burnt out a clutch but seen it happen many times though!
