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.

Ya, don't feel too bad. When I first got my car, it stopped running a couple blocks from my house. Light car, I can push it. Anyways, got to the entrance to my court, which is at the top of a small hill. Rolled the car and hopped in, but not all the way, kinda sitting sideways in the seat. Everything is going ok, except i'm sweating like a pig ant totally out of breath from the push. Until I get to my driveway. Yep, push in clutch petal instead of brake. Right through the garage door.
