yep, now ya know what a slipping clutch smells like! lol
on your car, you can loosen up the clutch cable and it might be ok for quite a while!
in most cars as the clutch wears down, the fingers in the pressure plate push more against the throw out bearing, and take out all of the free play, and eventually does the same thing as if you were riding with your foot partially pressing the clutch pedal while your driving down the road. it just depends on how bad your clutch was hurt from all of the slipping, but most of the time you can adj the clutch cable and you'll be ok. dont be afraid to loosen the heck out of it!!! get it down to where the car starts to move with the pedal just a lil way up off of the floor!
