Has anyone had a clutch arm fail at the worst time possible , at long last some one has made one that looks like it will not break with a orange/grey dot clutch .
Not cheap ,but cheaper than getting a tow truck home..

Just how strong a clutch have you got that you need a push start before you slip into someone more comfortable

Jeeze, I would just stick it in first and turn the key. Then just change gears without the clutch. It takes a certain knack to get it right though.

Watch the Timo's downchanges (starts about 1.50) :wink:

thats how i drive the Austin 12 and how all the semi's belting around change gears in a crash box, it's not hard but does take a bit of practice.

The MED one is reasonably priced, but it's not a new idea.
I'd prefer one of FastCarl's ones though:

A bit pricey though, but nice http://www.force-racing.co.uk/engine/ 8)
