I pulled up to a stop sign on an uphill slope yesterday. As I tried to pull away, my '69 hardtop rolled back into the car behind me because my clutch went out and I couldn't react fast enough to hit the brake when I realized what had gone wrong. On a positive note, the fellow whose car I rolled into said that he needed to replace the bumper anyway and that it was no big deal and he saw no need to exchange contact and insurance information. As for my car, it's a project car anyway and, as such, is no creampuff (yet) and I wouldn't even have been able to tell whether any damage had occurred to my car. Adding to the mess, second gear on my T10 transmission is very notchy and it can be challenging to get the car into second gear sometimes, so, suffice it to say, the transmission needs work as well. :mad2:
Times like this can be very challenging. I would so very much like to put a T-5 in my car while I already have the transmission out for the clutch replacement, but to spend that kind of money with my current situation would not be very responsible. :nono:
Anyhow, thanks for the opportunity to vent. I'll keep you all posted on any new developments. Wish me luck! :biggrin5:
