Default ok, what did i break? Reverse is a PITA!

ok, ill keep this short. Stock T-56 w/ a diamond stage 2 clutch that was put in back in october.

Was doing a little photoshoot today with a buddy of mine, and he wanted some smoke for a shot. so i rev it up a little slip the clutch and grab the brake and did a 5-7 second burnout. When i got done, i could smell the clutch, and thought thats kinda odd. so i drove the car for a bit, the gears are bit stiff to switch to. then trying to go into reverse is a huge PITA. I have to basically jam it into reverse and then the whole car shakes as soon as it engages. but trying to put it in reverse easy is impossible now. so what did i **** up?

Bleed your hydraulics. You prob overheated the fluid during the clutch slip

that sucks you are gonna have to put a new one in I would use the diamond stage 3. That is what I have and really like it. Although it is like a on/off switch and slipping it will wear it out quicker.

Jason at TDP is gonna hook me up, so ill just replace it with the same. its a street car so i need a clutch that can slip a little. next year when the motor gets built, itll get a street twin disc from mcleod...but until then....
