OK, I was prepping my car for WCR, mainly just changing the oil and removing the thermostat. Everything went beautifully smooth, hop back in the car and let it roar to life... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Then I go to to put it in first...grind, grind....what the heck, tried second gear, grind, grind. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) So I sit there a minute and start thinking of all the possible causes....then a sudden grin of stupidity flashed before me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) as I realized the problem. I had been driving my little red 914 automatic for the last couple of months, not the V8 teener....well have you guessed my temporary lapse into ignorance...yep, I WASN"T USING THE CLUTCH. Boy did I feel stupid.

HAHAHA, Been there, My wife and I each have identical Subarus except mine is a stick and hers is an auto. I can not tell you how many times I have slammed on the brakes of her car thinking I was going for the clutch in mine.
