I let my buddy drive my s2k for a bit, not too far but he couldn't get a hold of shifting, we kind of were jolting a bit but he decided to let me drive after that.
The next day I noticed the burned clutch smell, after a few hours and driving it a few times the smell is kind of going away a bit. The car has 64k miles and I just recently had service on it and nothing was mentioned to me, this is probably the first time it happened to me, I don't know if the clutch got toasted but I didn't notice anything while driving, it still handles the same way. What do you guys think? Thanks.

 

Burnt clutch smell is never good but it was probably not that big of a deal. Probably cut your clutch's life by a little...

 

How bad was the shifts? Grinding gears not pushing clutch all the way? Dropping clutch?
Jolting wont cause the clutch to smell in my experience.
Mading the car "Bunny Hop" Thats what it is called.


But i dont think it would do too much harm.

 

Sounds a little strange to me. I used to burn the clutch quite a bit going into first when the AC was on, but the clutch smell never went past a couple hundred yards on the road let alone days later.
