BTW, my Miata clutch lasted over 70K mi, never had to replace a clutch in any vehicle.

I am noticing completely normal clutch/shifting behavior, no slippage when upshifting, can start off in second (to test) without a problem.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

OK, have been driving a manual for 26 years and never had this happen: Was at a stop and I accidentally left my Cayman in 3rd gear instead of 1st (distracted). Radio on so I didn't hear the revs and started to drive forward, obviously a little slow so I fed her more gas. I then realized we weren't behaving properly (sluggish progress, revving above 4K with little forward progress). came to a quick stop realizing I was in 3rd and could smell that burning smell of a heated-up clutch. The entire episode lasted seconds. The stench is gone. I am noticing completely normal clutch/shifting behavior, no slippage when upshifting, can start off in second (to test) without a problem. Mainly embarrassed, but obviously after driving a manual all my life I guess a brain fart can happen. BTW, my Miata clutch lasted over 70K mi, never had to replace a clutch in any vehicle. Do you think there is much possibility that I damaged anything, or did I just reduce some miles off of my clutch? Thanks for your input. Experienced with treating manuals well but not experienced in this occurrence.

POST 2Original post

POST 5Original post

Given your track record of making clutches last, I would not worry about it. Like extanker said, you just burned off some extra cycles with that move.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
