Alright guys, another update. After almost a month with no car and $1400 later, my car is back on the road again. So excited, it feels better than ever before, and I noticed the clutch buzz was gone. I do have a question. I didn't realize I was supposed to drive the car gently for about 500 miles. I drove my car "normally for about 20 miles and when I got on interstate I kinda "pushed" my car. I have about 40 miles on my new clutch now. Do you think I might need another clutch soon because I didn't realized I was supposed to break it in and I drove my car hard? Or am I going to be ok, If I just continue to drive nicely until 500 miles? Or should I go ahead and save up for another clutch. I know, kinda dumb, but no one told me about the break in period? Thanks again for your help. If somebody could help me out with my question, I would appreciate very much.

You're fine man. Just drive conservatively for your first two tanks of gas, then enjoy. Glad you are back on the road again. You won't need a new clutch for another 100k+ miles with the OEM components in there.
