go 35mph, put her in 5th gear and floor it, make sure the rev's match the mph increase...if they jump (rpm) bye bye clutch.

It doesn't necessarily mean he blew a head gasket. In my car, I have blown my coolant temp sensor out of its socket behind the head like three times during hard shifts and when it happens, coolant shoots all over the block and I get a nice cloud of white smoke behind me.

BadLuckAudi, I couldn't agree more.

Just drive the car. When the clutch starts slipping replace it.
