trust me, my intensions were to blow the motor by pulling it out of gear and just rebuild it.it's not that big a deal. however, when your stang is hauling *** and the tires are spinning, and all your trying to do is keep it between the cars, it's kinda hard to accomplish all that you intend. i thought i was hittin the clutch, but it turns out hat i was really slamming the dead pedal on the far left.......wooppps
