Default Got Gas, Get beck in, Smell burning clutch....

I drove super slow to the gas station (35mph). when i got back in it smelled like i rosted the clutch. My car has the weak/sticking/slipping clutch problem. i launched the car 5 days ago, went to grab second and clutch stuck tothe floor. Since then it feels like i lost also 1/4 of the grab point of the clutch.

Im going to bring it to nissan today b/c its an 06 with only 20k miles on it. What do you think they will say?

My stock clutch went out at 24k. They told me it was my fault since the pressure plate fell apart internally. -I don't know how that makes it my fault, but needless to say, I took the car from them and went to Stillen. Got a performance clutch and flywheel installed for less than Nissan was going to charge me to install the piece of $h!t "I just broke" back in the car.

by the way, I've beaten the crap out of my Honda's and Acura's. Clutch finally failed in one of them at 67k. The Integra Type R went to 105k miles and was sold before the clutch went out. That thing took one hell of a beating too.
