    Default Manual gearbox/clutch help

    Hey,
    did something F***ing stupid tonite, had to go up a gutter to park and rode the clutch doing it, smelt really bad. when i took off the clutch wasnt releasing properly, but after another half hour didnt feel as bad. Have a screwed something up here?
    My clutch is only about 15 000k's old, same with flywheel
    The code is M35 for the gearbox, so if i need a new clutch will be be the dual mass flywheel job?
    Thanks.

    it did for the first acceleration after the first take off, after that it wasnt quite like it was before but it wasnt bad. i'm hoping after it cools off for a night it will be okay, cus the clutch is still sorta newish

    it should be alright with it being so new, it shouldn't of damaged it to much, but if it keeps slipping, take it in to ur mechanics and see if that can't lift it,
