If you "rest" your foot on clutch pedal it will burn (riding clutch) Either keep clutch pedal competely to the floor or keep completely released no in between If you drive the car, you are burning out the clutch. If you don't fully shift into gear you will burn it out too which is easy since the clutch may stay engaged and not let you shift. If you give it gas or lose speed when you finally do shift you've worn your clutch. Do this a few times at high speed and its over. This is what happened to me and it happened fairly quickly on the highway. Ride at the wrong speed in any gear you will burn the 'clutch'. So that means you can't downshift to 2nd gear if you are going 60mph. If you read the list of situations where your engine and transmission can be totally ruined within 5 minutes you will wonder why people even bother. Many manual transmission drivers on the internet are unaware of these situations so be wary of advice from a friend even if he can drive manual transmission. Do yourself the favor and get professional instruction - that's what I'm going to do.

How often do you have to replace your clutch?
It depends on how you drive. If you shift smoothly, it should last you a while, at least 100k miles. If you are not smooth, i.e. the car jerks a lot and you "burn" the clutch more often by downshifting when you're at high rpms for example, then you can burn out the clutch in less then a year.
