What happens if you burn the clutch a lot
My friend was talking about burning the clutch, and how it is bad for your car. How do you burn the clutch and what happens if it is done a lot?

Your 944 turns into a garden ornament.

riding the clutch longer than you need to, doing burn-outs, basically anything that causes more friction or burning on the friction plate

Come to stop, put the car in 3rd gear, get the engine revs up to 3500 and then get the car moving until the clutch is all the way out. All of that clutch work you just did is going to burn the clutch...the clutch literally heats up so much from all of the friction that you can smell a distinctive burning odor. Fast way to destroy a perfectly good clutch.

Yes, you'd also look like a wanker and be ridiculed as that posing prat in the Porsche.

Yeah the 944's tranny is pretty weak and evidently can go out easily. I really burned the tires once, accidentally...long story. It was awesome, but I'll never do it to '44 again...

Some people refer to this as "riding" the clutch - like if you're at a stop sign and rather than press the brake, you just use enough of the clutch to hold the car in position. It causes a lot of heat and can score or burn the friction plates in the clutch.

actually dropping the clutch is better for it than slipping it for hours on end (unless you have a rubber center disk). horrible for the tranny though. "burning" the clutch does to the clutch what burn outs do to tires
i think of the clutch like an eraser. only so many rubs before its gone.

I only did a burn out once in my cars. It was fun but only once. Id rather not pay for new tires/tranny/clutch/flywheel/torque tube.
The first thing you should do before driving a 944 is to learn how to drive standard on a honDUH and practice on not burning out the clutch then drive the 944 and learn how it drives. Simple.
