Hiya Christoff Lamby Pie,

I am a mechanic by trade, and it sounds to me that you have been riding the clutch. If you were constantly starting and stopping (on the gradient) like you would normally, then the chances are that with the extra weight en tow you would have had to increase your revs and slip the cluth more to achive drive. Is your car still driveable? If so then the damage may not be as bad as you think, but for piece of mind you should get it checked out.

You can get a heavy duty clutch for your car.

The downside is that they have some bite.

& need good clutch control. but you will get used to it. you would pay a bit more for one. But they will last forever.  

Not in low range they dont :)

Least not unless you really try hard !

Hydraulic refers purely to the method of activating the clutch, the principles of pressure & friction plates remain the same
