Slipping. Funny burnt smell too. Dealer (good one I think) thinks it is but they've not had another RS4 with over 40k so they may be overreacting but it sure seems like the clutch is worn.

That looks like my A4 clutch looked like when a friend mis-shifted from 2nd into 1st instead of into 3rd during a track day.

Clutch linings don't just come off. It doesn't necessarily mean you're a bad driver... everyone makes mistakes.

Did the old "put the car in 2nd, drive 20mph, step on the brakes and gas at the same time" trick, and it was definitely starting to slip. I could have gotten maybe 10k more out of it highway driving. but i traded it in.

You can check your clutch this way to see if it is bad. With the car running at idle, set the e-brake and press hard on the brake pedal. Put the car in gear and side-step the clutch. The car should die instantly. Your clutch is bad if the car sputters a few times like it is trying to continue to run before it dies.
Hope this helps!
