New Clutch Break-In Accidental Money Shift

Hey guys,

So I just recently had my clutch replaced and have really been trying to go through a good clutch break-in so the clutch will last. I’m about 300 miles through the break in, and while accelerating, I got distracted by a cool Mini in front of me and shifted from 4th into 3rd, instead of 5th like I meant to do. So not a true money shift, but certainly not great. A minute later, still looking at the Mini, I went and did the EXACT same thing. So I’ve just been freaking out that I may have screwed up this brand new clutch and I was curious whether you guys think I may have.

Thanks for the help!

Shouldn't cause a problem.
