Driving through water has rendered my clutch inop

in my experience it's not an issue of the clutch being 'burnt' just that when forging deeper water, even when the car is mechanically sound, the area between the motor and the transmission is usually vented, allowing heat from the clutch to escape and also for moisture to drain out. However i have see these drain holes that are often smaller than a dime, become clogged with debris, thus not letting the water drain out, thus "soaking" the clutch and causing it to slip. It's the same thing as if your brakes sat immersed in water for overnight, they will be very soft and spongy. This could also cause the clutch to wear out a little bit earlier because it essentially is softening the clutch material. I suggest looking underneath, next to the oil pan for some little holes, or a little rubber nipple looking thing, play with it and make sure it's clear. Otherwise just let it dry out. This is natural for clutches. Depending on if it's a mechanical vs. hydraulic clutch it may just need adjustment at it's 35,000 mile tuneup. let it dry, be sure to not ride the thing and it'll last over 150,000 miles. cheers
