Hye my friend owns a EG SiR from japan (sedan)... yesterday he installed a short shifter kit (C's i think) and went for a drive...

APPRARENTLY, cos of the short kit, he wasnt really used to the location of the gears ( i tend to believe him cos he has been driving for a while) and when trying to hill start he accidentally hit third gear and revved for FOUR-EIGHTSECONDS around till he realised ...

HE got a lot of smell... and some smoke... just asking on his behalf to all u technical/bad experience ppl here... Any permanent damage? or just a heated clutch that will reform back into shape (at leaast roughly the same shape) when cool?> and damage to gear box?
