<VV> Fwd: Slightly OT Dog-Rings

[Brian]

Years ago while driving out the front gate of my barracks in Germany in my 65 Corsa convert on the way to Monte Carlo to watch the Formula 1 race; the clutch cable broke.  The ball on the pedal assembly came off the cable.  Rather than try to go clutchless all that way; I jacked up the car, Lenten the cable in the rear and wrapped the cable around the pedal assembly.  secured it with a clamp and drove to the race.  Absolutely no problems!  I drove the car that way for almost a year until i got a cable installed.

Many years ago, I broke my clutch cable (on a Sunday in Utah) and learned  
really quick to shift gears the way the big-rig truckers do.  That  
knowledge has come in handy a good many times--especially nowadays when I have a  
hard time braking, then disengaging the clutch.  Shifting up and down,  
particularly up, without using the clutch comes easy--I just have to get my  shift 
mechanism adjusted when I have made too many hard shifts when I didn't  
wait long enough to shift after letting up on the gas.

And  don't forget double clutching! For those who  have  unsynchroed
transmissions. Either by design or parts worn out!  Anybody have  a dogbox 
in
a Corvair?  Frank  DuVal
