Ok i was being dumb and popped the clutch and burned out hard and when i tried to make it last and shift to 2nd my clutch was gone OMG . I hit my rev limeter and started to roll backwards. (now this is where everyone laughs and says "you just killed your clutch") nope i turned the car off and the clutch pedal kinda popped quietly and i drove it home just fine.. Is this a sign of my clutch going out? And no i dont drop my clutch and burn out often at all, maybe once in a blue moon when im wanting to show off and its a semi-new clutch.
 
nooooooo. it was rolling backwards full engaged it second..
 
here's proof before i turned it off i tried to go forward by putting it back in first and it was like being in neutral
 
Sounds strange! Maybe the slave cylinder rod bound up somehow with the clutch disengaged... then righted itself.... Or the problem could be in the master cylinder. Sounds like the clutch pivot fork was somehow pushed to the disengage position and stuck. Are your engine mounts in good shape? I dont think that should effect the clutch, but maybe worth a look considering that you were jerking the engine and trans around pretty hard when burning out and trying to shift. Good luck

If you shut your car off for a few minutes that might have allowed the clutch to cool off enough to get you home. If you continue to experience clutch slippage (most commonly happens under higher loads, e.g.-accelerating on freeway) then that may be what happened.
