made a classic mistake of both being stupid, and putting too much faith in a shitty part. yesterday it rained so the roads were wet so I decided to show off the waste of money "the Z" to my grandfather and do a little smokey launch. reved to about 5k and dumped it and it instantly redlined, so stupid me I tried to grab second and then third. It was burning the clutch not the tires. ON WET PAVEMENT with 10k miles on the car and this is the official first time ive flogged it.

So now when I start off it jutters a lot, it stinks like hell....... but it doesnt seem to be slipping at all. I did several hill start tests and a few digs from 3500 and it acts just like it did when I bought it.

something to note, I did the clutch peddle adjustment from another thread and noticed there are 2 "switches" that the peddle hits when its fully depressed and full out, now I dont know if that messed with the timing of the CSC/MC or not. So it could be my fault entirely. I should have known better than to rev it so high in each gear and power shift it like that....... but the thing that gets me is its the EXACT SAME THING as doing a redline shift while in motion, the clutch still has to match the flywheel. In this case the piece of **** failed.

Do you think the clutch is done for? I just drove 600 miles on it this weekend and it feels and acts normal but smells like **** every time I shift. zero slip.
