Burnt up my clutch a tad

Hey guys, long story short, i have a 6sp. And last week i was hot roding around town and im not sure if any 6 speeders have done this, but if you get the rpm's to bounce off the rev limited while the clutch is pushed, and you shift gears to fast the car will keep bouncing off the rev limiter. Well i did this for too long before i actually noticed it. Please hold the flames and just give me advice. Well the fucker smelled like burnt clutch for 2 days. This was last thursday and i can still smell it when im in drive thru's and places like that. What should i do.

Thanks all, and i know im a tard, you dont have to tell me again.

If it still drives OK, then don't worry. Go until you get slippage, etc. but that may be a while. But you'll be replacing your clutch much sooner than you normally would.

Uh, this may be obvious -- don't do that any more!

That'll keep him off the streets for awhile, looking for the clutch drain plug!
