I remember the first time I had to get up a really steep hill, I was scared but I made it with some effort. *wipes forehead*

WOW 6,000 rpms to get vehicle in motion. That should have immediately hinted to being in the wrong gear. I would practice drivng stick prior to drivng an EVO. It can be too much car for a 1st time manual driver.

no damage to the engine , just like half the life of the clutch
lesson learned
