I love that you got to 3rd and still didnt pull your foot out of it! Good effort!

CSB time. When i was at TAFE we all put oil down on the road and i smoked it right up in my old Volvo. On the brake, smoke everywhere! Was soo proud! Later got told it was all clutch! Yew!!

Hahaha, well.. 1st didnt work, so wanted to make sure the rest did =P As for the driveshaft, she seems to be held firmly in place =S Got lifetime warranty on gearbox/diff/clutch repair.. Wonder if something breaks/is broken if it will be covered.

yeah clearly you were doing it wrong.. Dial 6500rpm in first gear, side step clutch, none of this lifting your foot off, drop it off the edge of the pedal of get it off the pedal quickly with force, and smash accelator down and be ready to grab second!
