If you did something yourself then just try to take it easy on the clutch for a while, your car only has 600 miles on the clock.
Thanks. Yeah the dealer possibly burned up the clutch and I was aware of this possibility when I got the car. Quite frankly I kind of wanted an aftermarket clutch/light flywheel from the start anyway, which is why I didn't care too much. I can hardly stand how horribly slow the RPMs drop and how slowly I have to shift from 1st to 2nd to make it smooth.
