I wouldn't trust it for too long because the heat could have crystallized some of the disc material. If it were mine, I'd go ahead and buy a new one and be ready to replace it as soon as possible. BUT, I'm not a mechanic, just an old hillbilly shade tree.

 

Once you've smoked the clutch good several things happen that cause it to be the beginning of the end for that clutch.
1. Obviously there's significant wear that occurs when the clutch is overheated. The materials are pushed beyond their limits and there's a breakdown of the material in several ways. The "glue" that holds the friction material together tends to melt at the surface and cools into hard, low friction glaze. Sometimes if you're careful you can wear this glaze off (normal, gentle driving and patience) and restore some of the friction level of the surface, though that makes this only help for a while. The other thing that happens, is that the friction material itself usually develops cracks from the expansion and contraction that results from the extreme heating. This severely reduces the clutch life and makes it more susceptible to a clutch explosion (not the 1/4 mile sparks and fire version but the kind that will still leave you either stranded with no clutch or having to get home with a clutch that won't disengage).
2. Anytime you overheat the clutch, you are also overheating the flywheel. This creates hard spots in the flywheel surface that will wear more slowly than the rest resulting in a chattering clutch engagement that is almost impossible to fix by resurfacing the flywheel. Usually it takes replacing the flywheel to fix it. A rough or uneven surface on the flywheel, besides making clutch engagement rough, will also wear out the clutch faster (even a new clutch) and is harder on the rest of the drivetrain.
3. Ditto #2 for the clutch pressure plate.

While I've had the occasion to heat up a clutch (pulling a full load in an F150 up a steep grade) and have it keep going after it's had a chance to cool down, I've never had a clutch last more than a few months after such an event if it heated up to the point it was slipping.

 

 

I can only say that I've used a come along to pull an engine and while crude it will work. Two things to be careful about if you do: be sure the structure you hook to can take the weight (I've pulled down the entire framework before), second - it's a little tricky when it comes time to lower the engine without breaking something (including yourself).

 

 

Umm...yeah....

Don't be doing that, please

 

All but one engine I ever replaced was pulled out by a chain come along,not one of the pissy little cable ones. The last engine I pulled was with a cherry picker. Pain in the ***. Give me a come along and a good sturdy oak or maple tree to chain it to anyday!

 

Rube the rube

 

Guys! Saturday jumped in and she wasn’t mad at me anymore! I havent noticed any slipping so looks like I won’t be pulling a motor anytime soon (hopefully). I am thinking about setting up a pulley, cable system for pulling motors with ease in my garage as I have a bunch of projects on going. Just need to figuire our sizes and ratings on different materials needed. I will say this Saturn is the most resilient car I’ve owned!
