Hi all,
Long story short, was driving home the other day, down shifted from 5th to 4th pretty hard on the freeway. Next thing, I hear a twang (obvious once you see the clutch plate below). All of a sudden, couldn't shift, but the clutch was still engaged, and I was getting feedback from the pedal.
Luckily, in my sillier years, taught myself the art of rev matching, so managed to get through a few gears and limp to the mechanics.
Below is the clutch plate they pulled out. I'd also chewed half the teeth off the flywheel ring gear somehow. Long story short, I need to chill a bit on the road, if I don't want another $1600 repair bill!! Thinking I'm going to tape a copy of this one to the dash, so I look at it every time I feel like going silly [emoji23]
