I’m basically begging you: stop riding your clutch. In this short I’m calling out one of the easiest ways to smoke a clutch early—keeping your foot half-on the pedal while you’re driving, creeping, or taking off. If you’re learning manual (or you’ve been “driving manual” but your clutch keeps mysteriously dying), this habit is usually the culprit. It’s not a flex to slip it everywhere—especially if you’re in something like a Supra or a boosted build where heat and load stack up fast. The takeaway is simple: clutch is for changing gears and getting moving, not for cruising. Get fully on it when you need it, then fully off it and let the drivetrain do its job. If you need to go slow, use the brake and proper gear choice instead of balancing the car with clutch slip. Your clutch will last longer, your engagement will feel more consistent, and you’ll save yourself from that “why does my car smell like burnt clutch” moment.
