The car was redlined on accident for a few seconds with my foot to the floor. I felt the clutch pedal gain considerable slack, and it felt like something was wrong.

It was real hard to put into gear after that, I had to force it into 1st. It shifted better while I was rolling. There was a strong odor of clutch burning also.

I was trying to get it home and on the freeway I tryed to shift gears but it started grinding. After that it would go into gear, but it would act like its neutral. I could rev it it any gear and it would let the rpms fly. If I let out of the clutch while sitting still in any gear, it wont stall either.

Im gonna try to get the dealership to tow it because its still under warranty.

What do you guys think is wrong?
The dealership should cover this under warranty even though It was redlined right?

don't tell them you redlined the car. tell them it happened during the course of normal driving.
