Did I destroy my clutch?

I tried both: starting from dead stop; and keeping the revs up to stand in place. For future reference, which is better in that situation?

My indie shop says approximately 1800 for clutch only. 2900 for clutch and flywheel. Are those typical prices?

Don't use the clutch to hold the car on a hill, that is what the brakes are for, and brakes are easier and cheaper to replace than clutches and flywheels.

Those prices are in the ballpark.

now that your car has sat for a while and cooled down, how does it drive? Normal? Don't change it till you have to.

Yes, this happened a few weeks ago. I have noticed (I think) that the clutch is slipping a little bit, and has less 'play' than it used to. Other than that, it's driving fine.
