You most likely couldn't hook up enough in the rain to smoke a clutch...Did the smoke smell like hot brakes? where was the smoke +1

The best way to see if you clutch is ok is to get on the highway and get up to 40mph and but it in 5th gear, then floor it. If the RPM's slowly climb then it is still good. The the RPM's shoot up really fast but the speed does not, you need a new clutch.

Joe, the above is incorrect.
2006greygt, It doesnt matter if it was raining and he couldnt hook. It is still extremely easy to smoke a clutch in wet weather...maybe even easier.
To the OP, it is ok if you burnt it up a little unless this is done frequently. It should go away. Granted, I was not present so I don't know how bad the damage is. You can mess up a clutch with one bad episode.

Consistant clutch Chatter = bad clutch
Was your traction control on at the time? If it was, it will apply the rear brakes to help control wheel spin. When the rear brakes come on and you're heavy on the gas, the clutch (the whole drivetrain really) and the brakes are taking a real beating. The burning could have been the brakes or the clutch. If the clutch is chattering, it was mostly likely the source. If you drive it easy for a while, sometimes the chattering goes away........
