In the middle of a ******* intersection, ******* thing took a ****, none of the usual warning signs. **********er state patrol drove right by me too. Wife had to come bail me out. Not a fun trip to the bank LOL

Yea, it was cracked, I could see the crack and the fluid was leaking out, so no pressure.

so did it stay engaged or were you able to jerk it out of gear???



I can just see phins running a red light in front of a cop and driving circles around in an intersection cause his car is stuck in gear

rev to 3k and shift without the clutch in each gear, wouldve saved you from getting attacked by the cop.
