Clutch?

[LukeTK_95]

Hi everyone,

So today coming home from work in my Twingo I was on a hill waiting for the lights and as I pulled away I stupidly revved its brains out and as I lifted the clutch up I smelt burning which I know is from the clutch, and then it cut out. After a min or two it started up fine and I drove home without any problems. I am a pretty new driver so I'm quite worried incase Ive damaged it at all?

Thanks..

What's done is done, you definitely took a few miles off the life of your clutch, as long as it doesn't start slipping it should be ok, just chalk it up to experience and try not to do it again.

What is the average lifespan of a clutch?

Mine was changed before 50k miles and it was in garage for a good few days!!!
