Getting the beast out of garage this morning.
Reversing back, nice and gentle, as you do.
Dip the clutch to come to a stand-still - "that clutch feels a little soft."
Car still going backwards.
Left foot to the bulkhead - brakin like fk.
Car determined it's still going backwards - both hands on gearstick - ripped it out of gear.
Car stops - WTF.

I hate Mondays.

Plans with Viper for today have sorta changed.
Gearbox being removed.
This may affect plans for immediate future too. frown

The mug is $400 and you get the slave cylinder free.
