Burnt out clutch (nooooooooooooooooo!!)
So I was driving home and shifting into 3rd gear when the mat below my feet fell forward and pushed on the gas
I saw my car redline for 8-10 seconds without being able to do anything about it
I pulled over and looked under the car (smelled like straight sulfur) and I noticed the clutch is prolly burnt out.
*****I just want to know if this is covered by ford's warranty (car is 8 months old)...*****
Hopfully this is just a good excuse for getting a nice new clutchy
Or not!
Ohhhh this suck! First day of summer too!!

No. I only ride the clutch through 1st into 2nd... But with that 'damage' the clutch should last years and years...

Your clutch is probably fine. I smoked my clutch good a few times shifting into 2nd gear and it took a blower to make it slip. I got into a bad habit of using the clutch to control wheel spin instead of using the gas pedal. My clutch pedal actually got stuck down once and it smelled bad inside the car. After all that abuse I added the blower and still milked another 8,000 miles out of the stock clutch.

my clutch is still going extremely strong at almost 40k miles. that includes about 35 runs at the strip, about 20 of those runs on drag radials, about 15 of those runs 4k+ launches.
also fooling around on the street.
