Why I need a new clutch…

Check the DME to see if the engine was over reved, if it spun a rod bearing or just stretched the rod bolts, I wouldn't bother replacing the IMSB.

Thanks for the feedback. My car is running fine, I've already put it up on pack stands and pulled the oil filter, nothing shiny inside which was comforting but a further inspection is definitely needed. I'm hoping it's no more than the clutch kit, maybe the flywheel and IMSB if needed. I'm thinking the clutch was stiff, probably close to the end of it's life anyway and it took one episode of abuse to kill it off.

It will be going to hospital in a few weeks.
