the first few days i had the car i was constantly driving in stop and go traffic and incline, I may very well have burn my clutch with my shoddy clutch work . My frd drove my car today and he said he feels like my clutch is slipping a little, i never get to the point when I smell the clutch though how much damage did i do?

Clutch slip is easy to diagnose. Find a decently steep hill, anything in Vancouver above Kitts Beach will do fine. Drive up in fifth gear at 3,000 rpm or so with your foot on the floor and watch the tach and digital speedo. If the tach increase rpm while the digital speedo stays at one number you have burned out your clutch. If the rpm stay in perfect synch with the speedo your clutch is still ok.
