Help!! What did i do to my clutch??
I was driving home from work, and missed a shift. Now cuz i missed the engine reved really high ~5500 at about the same time i got into gear.
When i let the clutch out, NOTHING HAPPNED!!!
The peddle came out, but there was no tension. i was like WTF!!??
the whole time the engine was revving down the clutch was slipping, you know, the horrible smell and everything. I start trying to go, in 2nd, and the clutch is still slipping and slowly catches.
I just drove to the store and it was shuddering and it felt like it was slippin some at high RPM's in 1st.
What happened?!?!?!

it sounds like you burned the b*tch. Try driving relatively easy for a while (as in 5 days or so), normal clutch engagement, etc. If you glazed it, that may help 'roughen' the disk surface again.
It may work, may not. I've done that with some type of success (it lasted for normal driving until I could afford another one).
Of course, I'm only guessing by what you've tried to explain.

Sounds like you just glazed it, I had the same thing happen to mine at the track. It will get better after some normal driving. But from now on everytime you ride or slip the clutch you will smell that lovely burnt clutch flavor...

Wow, that kinda gives me bad memories of the tracks. Few years back was running the quarter. Near the end of my run, I was in third at around 90 mph. Wanted to shift to 4th, but misshifted into 2nd! As I released the clutch, "Wheeeeeeeeee!" The most horrible high pitched sound you could imagine. Naturally, bent valves, and running on 1 and a half cylinders. That's probably why I haven't been to the track since. Learned my damn lesson. You're lucky it's only the clutch.
