Thanks, now I feel like I'm going to wear out my clutch prematurely

No..no. It'll be fine. Unless you're at like 10 mph in 6th gear it'll be fine. Don't listen to these people that don't ****. Once it's engaged(foot off the clutch) it's fine. Pretty much just that you're trip home won't count towards the break in mileage if you're staying in 6th. People want apprx 500 miles of city driving, like on and off the clutch. Just don't slip it too much. But being a GM clutch, you don't have to worry too much. They're designed for normal use. You think people buy C6 Z06's and baby them, I highly doubt it. I bet 95% of them rape them as soon as they get outa the dealership.
