Hey guys looking for a bit of help.
I had my clutch replaced around Christmas after it went out on my 03 s2k. I ended up buying a Spec stage 2 clutch kit and had a good friend of mine who does this stuff for a living install it for me and resurface the flywheel. It's ran great since and I've been driving it like Miss Daisy for more then enough time to make sure it was properly broken in.
About a week ago I was driving around with a friend and decided to spin a few donuts in a parking lot. I'm going to be honest; I wasn't the smartest about it and did about 6 times dropping the clutch at about 6700 - 7000 rpm... During this time I felt no slippage or anything unusual while driving it. We came to a stop and waited a few minutes talking about how fun that was but after when we were going to leave I went to shift into first and gave it some gas but the car just sat there. I can put it into any gear and let go of the clutch and the car just sits there idle. I've spoken to my friend who did the work for me worried I just went through another clutch and he said I probably just knocked something loose. He's pretty backed up on work right now for about the next month so I'm hoping to get some other idea's to help expedite the repairs before I bring it in or see if it's something I can do myself.
Any feedback is much appreciated.
Thanks!

Sounds like he didn't tighten the driveshaft bolts properly, just a hunch. I'm assuming everything works, as in you can't force the car into gear without using the clutch and engine running?
