oh yea, i remember that one... my first day driving a manual trans... i
think a few time i was trying to goto 3rd gear and accidently hit 5th
gear... if i do that now, it does nothing, but it didn't like something
back then... oh well. it broke the fork right in two and locked it into
5th gear all the time... that was a $950 fix... now that trans shop is out
of business. everything has been great since then...
