Burning the clutch is OK when it's new - helps it "break in" faster and get smoother on grab...
But, I wouldn't recommend it much outside of the occasional "oopsie"
I bought my truck with 50K on it, and I burned the **** out of the clutch one night by taking off in 5th gear and flooring it, more or less just to see if it would do it. (barely!) - it burned the clutch HORRIBLY - I mean to the point where it wouldn't grab at all...lol.
140K on it now, and the clutch is still ok. It's showing it's age now...
The truck just won't die. Gotta give it to Ford, they make the ranger damn near bullet proof.
