Default Think I killed my clutch.

In a less than sober state, with 5 people in the car right after destroying a Camaro in a silly little drag, he starts revving again at the next light and with my brain still on off, I rev to like 5k and drop the clutch, don't notice I'm barely accelerating and shift into 2nd before brain says, hey idiot you're still slipping the clutch.. Anyway, park for 1 hour get back in and since then, clutch has been "grabby" ,, Just as I initially engage it, it hesistates, and just barely, but surely, skips a little in first. Any ideas for having the damage not considered "abuse" by the service guys? Thanks.

Default Just mention that you weren't sober when it happened. I'm sure the response will (m)

be similar to those you get here.

Default If it's not slipping, drive it a few weeks, it may smooth back out!!

Default It will smooth out in about a week...

I did the same thing going up a steep hill. Gave it a little too much gas and not enough grab on the clutch. Slipped it pretty hard when I tried to accelerator up the hill.
Clutch was jumpy for about a week. It will smooth out though.
