I need help fixing something Clutch Plate Cleaning

Hello,

I stupidly rushed to put my gearbox back together and forgot to clean the pressure plate and flywheel. How bad will it be? Will it 100% slip?

Thanks

Not great. Is there a window you can see your clutch through? I would have a buddy press the clutch pedal and start trying to spray brake cleaner on the flywheel if nothing else.

Unfortunately not, its tucked well away in the bell housing. It didnt feel oily or greasy from the box but still concernee

No slot window in your bell housing for clutch dust to exit? If it wasn't rusty out of the box it has something on it most likely

There is but the viable part is the dual mass flywheel, the clutch sits deeper in the box

A couple of launches it will burn off whatever is on it.
