Thanks, Spuds. Nope, too late, that's what I'm gonna do from now on

It was a 15-minute drive home after that, and the smell filled the cabin the whole way. I drove it again a few hours later to see how things were, and the smell was gone except for one downshift that i didn't rev-match right, and it gave off a little more burnt smell. Hopefully the regular driving is just clearing out whatever smelly dust is left over and scrubbing the clutch surface clean again? I don't know. Glad it's probably fine!
