lol ive already had them replace a set of tires, a speaker, guages, dome light , cd player.. all for free covered by GMPP. ( general motors protection plan) . and i have bumper to bumper coverage for the life of the payments on all mechanical parts of the car . i payed 3 grand for that coverage as well as having mechanical breakdown coverage from my insurance co. as well as GAP insurance. .. this S#!tty lil car is covered like fort Knox  :haha:



My advice would be until you learn how to repair cars and how they really work never buy a car you can't get that full insurance coverage for.  icon_study

The clutch is for rookie drivers, and using one just slows you down.

Speed shift.

I see the satire in my post about speed shifting was invisible to those who responded to it...

If you read that post in context with the thread,maybe it would start to show; but, then again, maybe not...

Carry on.

I got it too.  More CARNAGE. :haha: By the way you still use the clutch when you speed shift, You just do not let up on the throttle when you shift.

Indeed. Been street racing since i was 13 , got 15 points to show for it  sad

 I too got the friggin joke. we all did infact. If you would read or review the emoticons you'd see that. And no, i didnt break my car, as a matter of fact, other than losing a small bit of clutch pressure its absolutely fine It releases a bit further out than it did not but no big deal. . I too work in the automotive field, for those of you smart asses who wanna flap your gators without knowing anything about a person, i just have never had a hydraulic clutch before this one,  and didn't know what the hell it was doing  Laughing Hense, why i was asking for mechanics and not the rubberneckers who just wanted to throw in 2 cents of dribble.

Thank you for the responses and to all a good night.
