cmatthews80

So I think I've screwed something up... I have an '05 GTO 6-speed with 30K miles on it. Friday driving home on the interstate I was cruising along at about 70 when a Lamborghini passes me... I shift down into fifth and speed up to get a better look at it because it was an awesome looking car. Well I guess he thought I wanted to race him because he hits the gas. Of course what am I supposed to do at that point? The same thing...

I went to shift down another gear into fourth but missed it, when I tried it again apparantly I hit second gear. This was going about 80mph! So my RPMs shoot through the roof and it felt like I hit the brakes. As soon as it happened I hit the clutch again and threw it into nuetral. There was a VERY strong smell of something burning when I got to my exit. It honestly smelled like burning wires. Now the clutch feels different and I'm smelling the burning smell occasionally driving in town when I'm using the clutch a lot. It still goes into gear fine but it doesn't seem like there's much play in it like before. Before that I would have to let my clutch all the way out to disengage before it started moving. Now it disengages almost all the way to the floor. It doesn't grind going into gear or anything but it's not the same.

Any ideas on what the damage might be or what I should check for or do? Thanks.
