 Burning clutch smell - damage? - RattleandSmoke
I was taking my sister back to her flat from the supermarket, where she lives is very hard to park (West Didsbury) and there is a steep incline to the parking in front of her flat, it was wet and I had hardly any grip.

I managed to park and I jokingly said "well that has finished the clutch off" the next minute I could smell a sort of burnt rubber smell. Now it only lasted for a few seconds and went, when I did this before on my first Fiesta it lasted for a long time.

Drove 3 miles home in the wet and didn't notice anything unusual with the clutch, but wasn't that much traffic.

So obviously what happened did the clutch no good, but was is the likelihood of having any real long term damage to it?
