I did same thing with my old car(FWD)...

I notice that clutch is wearing our alot faster..
It got worse and worse until I totalled that car.

Re: how do i know if my clutch is toasted?
The same thing happened to my 1998.5 A4QM after I had the APR chip installed. It happened (2) times where the car didn't go and the revs went to the redline. The clutch had a horrible smell for about 2 days. For me, if I want to launch the car hard, I would let out the clutch almost to the very top, rev the engine to about 2500 and release (don't drop) the clutch. As the clutch grabs then apply more gas.
