when my tranny blew i was racing a civic ... back then i was ignorant to the problems that manual shifting does ... i went off the line at the light in first .. and pulled on him ... threw her into second .. and nailed it almost to redline .. having at least a few cars on him i decided to rev on it high into second .. ( so i could get that jumpy look high in the rpm range ) well i released the gas and nailed it .. bang the trans coolant seals broke and i fryed away almost all the gears and fused the plantary overdrive gear ... the civic passed me beeping his horn ... as i rolled in "n" smoking like the mountains in afganastan .. lol oh well
