Re: The beast has come...

Just had a clutch replaced in the Mustang. The King Cobra clutch the kid put in 30,000 miles before we bought it was toast. He beat on it. The flywheel had surface cracks, the pressure plate was heat damaged and the clutch disk was very worn. The clutch fork was worn and the throwout was noisy. Ever...

Re: Driving a stick isn't dead

He doesn't seem to understand what he's reporting on. He says it's not an old-school granny gear but that's exactly what it is. It doesn't matter if it's labeled 1, L, or C. It's been a fixture in 3/4-ton and up trucks for decades. It's not a feature commonly included on vehicles without towing, ha...

No thanks. And if one knows how to drive a stick, there is no awkward roll back starting on hills.
